Wow, that's dodgy. "ifup eth0=hotplug" sets the physical interface
to eth0 and the logical interface to "hotplug", then runs the mapping
scripts in the usual manner. Doing:
mapping hotplug
script /usr/lib/hotplug/deal-with-hotplug-devs.sh
map eth0 eth0
as the first thing in your /e/n/interfaces, and:
$ cat /usr/lib/hotplug/deal-with-hotplug-devs.sh
#!/bin/sh
if="$1"
out=""
while read phys log; do
if [ "$phys" = "$if" ]; then out="$log"; fi
done
if [ "" = "$out" ]; then
exit 1
else
echo "$out"
exit 0
fi
then eth0 will be treated normally when hotplugged, and other devices will
fail when hotplugged (because there's no "iface hotplug ..." line for them
to be configured as).
That's probably not terribly comprehensible.
