It seems I've already got ifplugd installed and configured. I checked its docs and it said to remove the line "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces which I did.
It then didn't work at all, so I went back and had a closer look at the docs (one large portion of humble pie for me) and it seems that it may conflict with hotplug and said to remove the call to "ifup" from /etc/hotplug/net.agent. I went and had a look at this script and found it to be one of those immensely complicated and clever shell scripts which are quite beyond my capability to understand (note to self: learn bash one day!).
Any suggestions? (Its not really important BTW, it would just be nice ;)
I haven't got a net.agent fle on my debian box, but if you send it (off-list) I'll have a look if ya like.
