Better to not even modify that, but to use "dpkg-reconfigure ifplugd"

Is that just for a built-in ethernet? I have two network connections, cardbus
on eth0 and a satellite modem on dpc0 (usb), and they're both set in
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES, because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
I'm not at all sure it is right - I've never quite got the usb connection
working properly - but it seems to work properly for eth0.
