Severity: critical

Hi ifupdown-Maintainer,
I've installed a recent Debian/Testing on two different boxes and on a
virtual qemu-box and the following problem appeard on all of them: After
booting the system the nentwork inteface is not brought up correctly
which makes this installation (in fact the whole system) unusable for
reomote-only installations.
The problem seems to be the following line in /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug eth0
Issuing an
sudo ifup -a
does not do anything.
After changing the line to
auto eth0
the problem seems to be fixed. Please note that I'm not talking about
some heavyly customized installations but rather about default
installations of an up-to-date Debian/Testing.
I've mentioned the problem on d-devel and d-user-german and it looks
that the problem (as well as the proposed solution) is quite common.
Cheers,
Bastian
