No. "auto eth0" (or "allow-auto eth0") is brought up by "ifup -a" through "/etc/init.d/networking". "allow-hotplug eth0" is brought up by "/lib/udev/net.agent" through "/lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules" in Squeeze and "/lib/udev/rules.d/80-networking.rules" in Wheezy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
