Hi
sure you can do that, but why not let the little tool do that for you? A little automagic doesn't harm as long as you know whats going on;) Apart from that ifplugd just controls one interface where the network script starts/stops the whole networking (including 127.0.0.1)...Um should he just /etc/rc.d/network restart? That performs everything that happens when the network interface is brought up on system start.
