Hi Didier,

My normal interfaces file contains an "auto" stanza for wlan0,

"iface eth0 inet dhcp" for eth0 because it comes first in the file and
"auto" and/or "allow-hotplug" can just cause the abovementionned delay
when no Ethernet cable is connected.
Please, give a try to the following image:
https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/chimaera/live/
<https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/chimaera/live/>
There are several services being handled by runit in these images, and
ifupdown's networking is one of them.
Better said, it's not a service -as you pointed out- but a script that starts
another service, that is dhcp.
You can test the image in live mode, and you'll find that the delay caused by
the configuration in
/etc/network/interfaces disappears. Also, even if you boot without wired
connection, the connection will be
stablished without the need of restarting the service when you plug/unplug the
ethernet cable again and again.
Note, on the other hand, that the time interval in the periodic reminder of the
automatically_connect option of
simple-netaid (setup in /etc/simple-netaid/snetaid.conf) is equal to zero so as
not to interfere with the
stanzas defined in /etc/network/interfaces. Hence, the wired connection is
stablished thanks to these definitions.
And yes..., *both* stanzas are required for that. With this in mind, I decided
to leave the automatically connect
option of simple-netaid only for wired devices.
More info later :)
Cheers,
Aitor.
