Template: ifplugd/interfaces Type: string Default: Description: static interfaces to be watched by ifplugd Specify the interfaces to control here, separated by spaces. Ifplugd processes will be started for each of these interfaces when the ifplugd initscript is called with the "start" argument. You may use the magic string "auto" to make the initscript start or stop ifplugd processes for ALL eth and wlan interfaces that are available according to /proc/net/dev. Note that the list of interfaces appearing in /proc/net/dev may depend on which kernel modules you have loaded. . You should not add interfaces that are hotplugged (USB or PCMCIA) here, you will be asked for those in the next question. Template: ifplugd/hotplug_interfaces Type: string Default: Description: hotplugged interfaces to be watched by ifplugd Specify the hotplugged interfaces to control here, separated by spaces. . You may use the magic string "all" to make the hotplug script start an ifplugd process for any hotplugged interface. . Hotplugged interfaces are usually interfaces on PCMCIA or WLAN adapters. Template: ifplugd/args Type: string Default: -q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I Description: arguments to ifplugd You can give arguments to the ifplug daemon here. See the man page for a description or call ifplugd -h. Template: ifplugd/suspend_action Type: select Choices: none, suspend, stop Default: stop Description: suspend behaviour When you put your notebook into suspend mode, you can choose between three actions: . none: no action . suspend: this puts ifplugd into suspend mode. In this mode, ifplugd does not check the link status. This is necessary for some broken network drivers. . stop: this stops ifplugd. If the -q option is not given, ifplugd will stop the interface. After resume, it will be restarted. This makes sense if you use some mechanism (eg. gueesnet or whereami) to detect your network environment, which may have changed while suspending.
