My /etc/network/interfaces has an auto line for each appropriate
interface:
auto lo
<lo device config>
auto eth0
<eth0 device config>
There's also a package, netenv, which is supposed to allow you to choose
a network configuration at boot time. I've installed it but not yet
figured out how to configure it. Seems like a good idea though....
