Add the following line to the above for each interface you want to start
on boot:
auto <interfacename>
for example, if you want to start wlan0 on boot, add
auto wlan0
just above the
allow-hotplug wlan0

Thanks Matthew.
I will try that.
I would like the option to switch between wireless and hardwired connections.
It sounds as though that method doesn't give me that option?
How can i get around that so i've got the flexibility to use either? When i had
my wireless connection using eth1 on another distro, it wasn't necessary to
configure anything.
Thanks for your advice.
Jamie
