That’s interesting! I’m quite sure I did not put that there (i.e remove the “i” from “inet”. It’s purely as it came from the installer.
And, given that the “i” is missing in both versions of the interfaces file, why does “auto” work and “allow-hotplug” not work?

Pretty sure I don’t have any of those installed. (Indeed, *quite* sure, since this is a test machine and it’s running an absolutely minimal “fresh from the box” debian installation — no add-ons at all.)
