Details
Starting ifplugd as a daemon in rc.conf directly used to be
able to autodetect the link and establish an ethernet
connection.
However, following the changes around network setup at bootup done recently, ifplugd stopped working that way and seems to require net-auto-wired. When starting ifplugd directly, /var/log/everything.log contains the following error messages : ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth0 up'. ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: Warning: This functionality is deprecated. ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: connection, or use a utility such as netcfg. ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: up: error fetching interface information: Device not found ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:E8:CE:4C:03 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: inet6 addr: fe80::224:e8ff:fece:4c03/64 Scope:Link ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:668 (668.0 b) ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: Interrupt:10 Memory:f6ae0000-f6b00000 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: lo Link encap:Local Loopback ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: Usage: inet_route [-vF] del {-host|-net} Target[/prefix] [gw Gw] [metric M] [[dev] If] ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: inet_route [-vF] add {-host|-net} Target[/prefix] [gw Gw] [metric M] ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: [netmask N] [mss Mss] [window W] [irtt I] ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: [mod] [dyn] [reinstate] [[dev] If] ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: inet_route [-vF] add {-host|-net} Target[/prefix] [metric M] reject ifplugd(eth0)[1581]: client: inet_route [-FC] flush NOT supported I believe that /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action has not been adapted to the changes in /etc/rc.d/network and should be.

Now, I've modified rc.conf to make use of net-auto-wired, and everything works smoothly again, but ifplugd "on its own" should, as far as I can tell, be working as well and it's not the case (see my report).
To answer your question: yes, it is adapted, but I cannot be 100% sure that it was when I did this report. However, it should have no impact since ifplugd wasn't using anything from rc.conf - or am I missing something?
Thanks
