The file /etc/network/interfaces looked like
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Hello

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid xy
wpa-psk xyz

that worked fine so far ... then I made the update

(part of aptitude log attached)

after the update and also the update of upstart (testing to unstable) cause of 
boot problems the computer waits a long time
with this verbose messages:
init: startpar-bridge (networking--started) stae changed from stopping to killed
... from killed to post-stop
... from post-stop to waiting
init: handling stopped event

initctl list shows:
network-interface (lo) start/running
network-interface (eth0) start/running
network-interface (wlan0) start/running
network-interface-security (network-interface/eth0) start/running

network-interface-security (network-interface/wlan0) start/running
network-interface-security (network-interface/lo) start/running
network-interface-security (networking) start/running
network-inferface-container stop/waiting

a manual start of wlan0 works fine 
the entry allow-hotplug doen´t work on THIS computer


Sorry about the confusion with allow-hotplug. On another computer I use 
allow-hotplug instead of auto and that works.

Regards

Peter

I'm afraid this report doesn't make any sense to me.  Currently, the
/etc/init/network-interface.conf job (which is part of the ifupdown package)
calls ifup *only* for 'auto' interfaces:

  exec ifup --allow auto $INTERFACE

It does *not* handle interfaces that are marked 'allow-hotplug', which I
know is an issue given the default /etc/network/interfaces as set up by the
installer, but that does not appear to be the issue you're reporting.  You
seem to be saying that the network is not started when using 'auto'.  Can
you please clarify?  Can you also attach the /etc/network/interfaces file
that you see problems with, and post the output of the command 'initctl list
| grep network-interface'?

Thanks,
