Hi ifupdown-Maintainer,

I've installed a recent Debian/Testing on two different boxes and on a
virtual qemu-box and the following problem appeard on all of them: After
booting the system the nentwork inteface is not brought up correctly
which makes this installation (in fact the whole system) unusable for
reomote-only installations.

The problem seems to be the following line in /etc/network/interfaces:

	allow-hotplug eth0

Issuing an 

	sudo ifup -a 

does not do anything.

After changing the line to

	auto eth0

the problem seems to be fixed. Please note that I'm not talking about
some heavyly customized installations but rather about default
installations of an up-to-date Debian/Testing.

I've mentioned the problem on d-devel and d-user-german and it looks
that the problem (as well as the proposed solution) is quite common.


Cheers,

Bastian

Documentation for the problem of asynchronous network initialization has
been committed to the release notes CVS.

As noted in the bug log, the problem that was preventing network interfaces
from being initialized *altogether* on boot has been resolved separately in
udev.

Thanks,
