Yeah, today for a wired connection, not using "connman" works fine. But there was a time about 2-3 years ago.. That Debian/Ubuntu had a really crappy ifupdown network setting, that forced you into a 2 minute wait (timeout) on bootup before the login prompt would become available... Unless your ethernet port was connected, then login appeared instantly.. Swapping from "auto eth0" to "allow-hotplug eth0" made zero difference at the time. I remember supporting 2 boards with one image back then.. The original BeagleBoard (with no default ethernet) and the xM with a usb-ethernet adapter.. It really sucked trying to support that configuration, as we had to have "eth0" defined in /etc/network/interfaces so the xM would have working ethernet. Yet at the same time hack up teh ifup scripts to remove the 2 minute timeout so the non ethernet BeagleBoard, would still bootup quiclly to a login prompt. Once we swapped to connman, connman took care of those two cases pretty easily..
