ACC SHELL

To use ifplugd with SuSE Linux you have to change the start mode of all
interfaces mentioned in ifplugd.conf to manual instead of onboot.
Hotplug devices should specify hotplug as usual.

For example:

if /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf contains

	INTERFACES='eth0'

your /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 must contain

	STARTMODE='manual'

Note that you may (and should) use the new interface configuration names
e.g. if you have the file

        /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-08:00:46:d2:3c:99

describing your ethernet interface, you should use

        INTERFACES='eth-id-08:00:46:d2:3c:99'

the start script will find the related interface (e.g. eth0 or eth1) and
use this for ifplugd. This method is the preferred configuration since
it avoids confusion when interface names change due to added network cards
or changed kernel configurations.
