Hi,

replace 'allow hotplug' with 'auto'
auto eth0
auto eth1
I have been wondering about this and have not seen any definitive
documentation, or if there is, I have not understood it.
Does "auto" imply "allow-hotplug"? If not, should I have both
auto eth0 eth1
and
allow-hotplug eth0 eth1
lines in my interfaces file?

AFAIK, allow-hotplug makes the interface come up only when a cable is
plugged in. auto makes the interface come up at boot time regardless of
the cable state.
