i do not 'power down'. i just use 'ifdown eth0' in a script.
also, now thinking about mentioning it, when i bring up thunderbird, there are
double flashes, 3 to 4 more doubles, sometimes 5 of ethernet led on 2wire.
out of curiousness, with fresh boot, no 'ifup', i tried as root,
'yum check-update'
which returned,
'Temporary failure in name resolution')>Trying other mirror.'
then,
'ping 111.11.11.1'
received,
'connect: Network is unreachable'
to me, this shows tbird is doing something to flash led.
thanks for reply, bruno. open to more suggestions.
