See man 5 interfaces. It claims that it will try to do the right thing and figure which one to use. It does also state that you may have to put some of the actual configuration bits in the dhcp client software's native configuration file. But I've never had to do anything more than just set the method to dhcp and install some dhcp client. Cheers, Joost
