hi
i found something in my server logs that i don't know what to think about so i better ask

it is regarding starting and stopping my network interfaces
after restarting my network i have thins in the logs:

Jul 18 16:04:27 leeloo network: Shutting down interface eth0: succeeded
Jul 18 16:04:29 leeloo ifdown: RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
Jul 18 16:04:29 leeloo network: Shutting down interface eth2: succeeded

Jul 18 16:04:32 leeloo ifplugd[13834]: Exit.

Jul 18 16:04:39 leeloo ifplugd[16466]: Using interface eth2/00:04:75:E4:88:EA with driver 3c59x LK1.1.18-ac
Jul 18 16:04:39 leeloo ifplugd[16466]: ETHTOOL_GLINK failed: Operation not supported
Jul 18 16:04:39 leeloo ifplugd[16466]: ifplugd 0.13 successfully initialized, link beat detected.
Jul 18 16:04:39 leeloo ifplugd[16466]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth2 up'.
Jul 18 16:04:43 leeloo ifplugd[16466]: Program executed successfully.
Jul 18 16:04:43 leeloo network: Bringing up interface eth2: succeeded

so first why is eth2 starting/stopping using ifplugd and eth0 using ifup? what's this "ETHTOOL_GLINK failed: Operation not supported"? should i be worried?
btw the interface works without any probs then

running mdk 9.1, kernel 2.4.21 with the routes-2.4.20-9 patch applied

thanx
