in /etc/network/interfaces: "auto" vs "allow-hotplug"

2017-09-23 Thread Rick Thomas
I have two machines (out of a group of ten) that will not bring up their ethernet interface at boot time if the interfaces is of type “allow-hotplug”. When I change that to “auto” the interface comes up at boot with no problem… The remaining eight machines have no problem with allow-hotplug.
