Correct, it's disabled in [/etc/network/interfaces] so wicd will configure it automatically (with any sane router/dhcp server) on bootup (wicd seems to take a good 5-15 seconds to get a valid ip address over dhcp, conman is slightly faster). You can see the ethernet driver taking it's sweet time over dmesg: [ 29.139188] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 29.142439] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 29.142650] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 29.147705] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 29.164068] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 32.222827] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full [ 32.222962] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [ 34.697540] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 34.699719] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 34.699817] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 34.705082] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 34.715656] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 35.108521] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 35.110713] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 35.110812] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 35.116039] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 35.126630] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 37.102955] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full [ 37.103082] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready However, if we enable it in [/etc/network/interfaces], the serial login prompt will not show up till after eth0 gets a valid ip or the 2 minute dhcp time out. So boot times fall from the 12-15 seconds to 30ish.
