[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#399766: more info on avahi-daemon troubles

[Norman Ramsey]

OK, I can add a little more information to this report.
First, it looks as if restarting avahi-daemon 
is not enough.  I must *first* plug in the ethernet
cable, *then* restart the avahi-daemon.

I'm using (I assume) hotplug to detect action on the ethernet port;
when it's connected, I run /usr/bin/guessnet-ifupdown to configure 
the port.  Maybe something is not getting notified at this time?
Let me know if I can provide more information.

Also, here are some excerpts from syslog:

---- at this point I took down ath0 and connected eth0, but nobody
     notified avahi-daemon, so I had to restart it again.
