Yes but the prog is no delight. It succesfully switch up and down my
3com NIC on my thinkpad, but with incredible effects.

Here too, the running daemons seems to block bringing down the link.
Without NIC the ifplugd produce heavy harddisk actions while running
around without a reason.

The linux-mag told me that ifplugd was a test and will soon be replaced
by the netplugd project.

Thanks for that. I spent enough time assuming it was *my* scripts
problem. I have already started playing with netplugd (well compiling and
setting it up to my liking).

The problem I had with it (ifplugd) is that it wouldn't return on a
successful startup, unless the last (I assume, I wasted enough time on it)
failed in some way and returned a non zero exit code. And if it didn't
return successfully, the stop function failed.

Anyway, there go my holidays.

Appreciate the answer.
