As Pascal noted, the word before �dhcp" should be "inet".
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?
I had to change �allow-hotplug� to �auto� to get it to come up on reboot:
root@macpro:~# diff /etc/network/interfaces.ORIG /etc/network/interfaces
11c11
< allow-hotplug enP1p3s15f0
---
auto enP1p3s15f0
Looks good.
If there�s some place that�s mistakenly expecting a name like �eth0�, where might it be located?
A locally created script (especially one that does firewall stuff),
or a third party package.
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.)
