I don't know that much about OFED or Red Hat-like distros. But in<br>Debian/Ubuntu, I know that I can use the /etc/network/interfaces file<br>to specify arbitrary commands to run when an interface appears. eg<br>from the interfaces(5) man page:
<br><br> pre-up command<br> Run
command before bringing the interface up. If this<br> command
fails then ifup aborts, refraining from marking<br> the
interface as configured, prints an error message,<br> and
exits with status 0. This behavior may change in<br> the future.<br><br>Seems like the same thing should be possible for other distros without<br>much trouble.</blockquote><div><br>
OK, AFAIK under both Red Hat and SLES there is a way to intall pre-up
and post-down hooks for the iftools, if this is what you were referring
to in "hot-plug", then we are on the same page, thanks.<br>
