It does. Actually, I've just checked, both current n-m and ifupdown from wheezy support only 'source' directive. The difference between source and source-directory is that the second form doesn't need a glob mask to be specified, as it uses run-parts-style matching. In that case, maybe it's better to change this to: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* (The other utility parsing interfaces is guessnet, it's current version also supports "source" keyword only.) > Why the first question: just in case we end up backporting netcfg at > some point.
