I believe debootstrap does *not* create the file /etc/network/interfaces - like hosts.conf and a few other core files it need manual creation if not using debian-installer. Also, I believe that file is only used for _some_ networking frameworks. * ifupdown: uses /e/n/i and /etc/network/interfaces.d/*.d * network-manager: briefly checks /e/n/i for interfaces to ignore. * connman: possibly ignores /e/n/i completely * systemd-networkd: possibly ignores /e/n/i completely * ifupdown2: probably uses /e/n/i - claims to replace ifupdown... * netscript-2.4: not sure - claims to replace ifupdown... * wicd: not sure... * waagent: irrelevant for phones... ifupdown was used by default in the past, but no more. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
