I've investigated this for a few hours today, and if you have any systems that fail to bring up the interface with "allow-hotplug eth0", and no "auto eth0", I'm curious about what situations cause it to fail. So far the only situations I've been able to find where allow-hotplug fails are: * Long (> 2 minutes) fscks of the root filesystem during boot. * Hard powercycles / hard reboots. I've filed bugs for both of those, and it seems that it should work in other situations, but perhaps I've missed other failure modes. -- see shy jo
