Pakket: ifplugd (0.28-2.3)

A configuration daemon for ethernet devices

ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is really connected.

Some features:

 * May beep when the cable is unplugged, plugged, the interface
   configuration succeeded or failed.
 * Syslog support
 * small
 * Multiple ethernet interface support
 * Support for wireless networking. Whenever an association to an AP
   is detected the network is configured. Have a look on waproamd
   if you need a facility to configure WEP keys before AP
   associations succeed.
 * Compatibility mode for network devices which do not support cable
   detection
