Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.8.45
Followup-For: Bug #1125134
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Correction to the original report:
The problem seemed to be with my /etc/network/interfaces file, using
allow-hotplug
instead of
auto
for ethernet interfaces.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file to better reflect my actual use case,
and the result included below worked as I hoped without delay on start-up.
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
