Re: Use interfaces not connected at boottime

["Thomas Hecker" <thomas hecker gmail com>]

I get this output so it seems to be a bug.
additional question: I have the (old) version 0.6.2-0ubuntu7
installed. Should I report the bug anyway, without testing with the
newest version? Building it from source did not work on my system...

Thank you,
Thomas
