Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: important

I have two network cards that have these lines in 
/etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0

    iface eth0 inet manual

(identical for eth1).

After a reboot, running ifconfig gives me information only on lo.

I need to run "ifconfig eth0 up" to have it activated. Running "ifdown 
-a" leaves eth0 and eth1 as active (ifconfig still displays them), and 
only removes the loopback device.

Yours,
Uri David Akavia

Details follow:

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card
#auto eth0

#       broadcast 192.168.0.255
#       mtu 1500

# The second network card. The one connecting to the ADSL modem.
# This should be the non built-in card.
