Hi Mark,

Actually this is my /etc/udev/scripts/hotplug.dev

if [ "$INTERFACE" = "$DEVNAME" ]; then
        exit 0
fi

# ok, we have renamed this device, so let's set $INTERFACE to the new name
# and call the network hotplug script to handle it properly...
INTERFACE=$DEVNAME
export INTERFACE
if [ -f /etc/hotplug.d/default/default.hotplug ]; then
        exec /etc/hotplug.d/default/default.hotplug net
fi

I think this is just Linux AS4 default scripts ...

By the way, do you the error only on yesterday's pull? If this is so, may
be I can try some older version?

Thank you!

Regards,
Wei Huang
