BTW, `ifupdown` is terrible to manage IPv6 address, specially when with VLANs... We need a completely new approach to manage IPs on Ubuntu/Debian, the time of `ifupdown` is over.
I like the syntax of `interfaces` file but, its implementation (ifupdown) is far from ideal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ifupdown in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313774 Title: interfaces man page sucks Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I had a bad time trying to configure wifi on Ubuntu Server 14.04 without graphics installed. 'man interfaces' which appears to be from 2004 doesn't mention wifi and Google returns mostly outdated information on the subject. Apparently /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/README.modes.gz is the place to learn that it's possible to include wifi directives in /etc/interfaces without going online; there is no SEE ALSO man page option. It would be easier if the man page was empty and just said to read the Debian reference manual. It might also be useful if there was a man page with the information contained in README.modes.gz, in my case specifically the wpa-ssid and wpa-psk options.
