Hi, I've two problems with ifplugd and net-auto-wired. When ifplugd is started during boot my speakers make a weird and very loud "moep" sound. When started from a console after boot no such sound occurs. The second problem I have is if net-auto-wired starts during boot time it will not detect any networks. I have to restart net-auto-wired by hand after boot to get a connection. /etc/rc.conf(just the important lines) MODULES=(acpi_cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand coretemp lib80211_crypt_tkip !ssb !b43 fglrx wl usblp !pcspkr !snd_pcsp vboxdrv vboxnetflt fuse) INTERFACES=() WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0" WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0" DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal ifplugd @net-auto-wired @net-auto-wireless @alsa @mpd @crond @ntpd @alsa @lastfmsubmitd @lastmp @cpufreq @sensors @tor @privoxy) /etc/network.d/dhcp CONNECTION="ethernet" DESCRIPTION="dhcp" INTERFACE="eth0" IP="dhcp" As far as I can tell my configuration is correct but I'm open to any suggestion Sebastian -- The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
