Yes (that was 150d8e6, for the record.)

I was hoping that, by the time ‘udevadm trigger’ completes, all the
devices would have been detected, but obviously there’s no such
guarantee.

dmd will need something akin to ‘upstart-udev-bridge’
<http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#id278> to turn device
discovery/removal events into service start/stop triggers.

Until then you’ll have to restart the networking service manually.  :-/

Thanks for the report,
Ludo’.
