Using ifplugd has similar problems. Does hotplug call the standard 
ifup/ifdown scripts to bring up/down the network interface? The 
work-around for ifplugd is to set MODULE="" and UP_ON_BOOT="no" in 
/etc/sysconfig/network/*.dev or using netconf. For ifplugd the module then 
needs to be loaded via /etc/modules.

Not sure if the spell should do this automatically, perhaps just
displaying a message for the user and placing an appropriate notice in the
long spell description.
