Some recent network remodeling seems to have exposed a problem with my
ability to use network-manager to configure my static IP address. With
my static IP address configured using network manager, my network
interface appears not to be initialized in time for autofs to start
properly. The result is that once booted, the automount process is not
running, and I cannot automount network drives. I can fix the problem
by simply adding a stanza to my /etc/network/interfaces file with my
static network interface. Once I do this, the automount process is
running fine following boot.
It seems to me that there might be some race between network-manager
starting the network interface and autofs trying to start the
automounter.
Looking at the syslog, I see that when I rely on network-manager to
start the interface, it is initially fully down with the carrier off
