>From the interfaces man page: Lines beginning with the word "auto" are
used to identify the physical interfaces to be brought up when ifup is
run with the -a option. (This option is used by the system boot
scripts.) Physical interface names should follow the word "auto" on
the same line. There can be multiple "auto" stanzas. ifup brings the
named interfaces up in the order listed. Lines beginning with "allow-"
are used to identify interfaces that should be brought up
automatically by various subsytems. This may be done using a command
such as "ifup --allow=hotplug eth0 eth1", which will only bring up
eth0 or eth1 if it is listed in an "allow-hotplug" line. Note that
"allow-auto" and "auto" are synonyms.
