Great! Glad to hear you have it solved. > The problem lied in the /etc/network/interfaces, where my eth0 interface > was set up with the 'allow-hotplug' directive. > Still wondering why I ever did that... oO Both 'auto' and 'allow-hotplug' should work. The general movement by the-powers-that-be are to move everything to the event driven hotplug interfaces. Therefore it *should* work. But obviously the synchronous boot time init is the one that has been traditionally used and the most well tested. The event driven interface is getting rewritten and the default for Jessie just changed to it. Basically everything is different in the new Jessie using the defaults. > In short, that allowed the interface to be declared 'mounted' while still > unavailable.

Since this *should* work and you have a failing test case where it does not I encourage you to file a bug report on it. Unfortunately I am not sure which package should get the bug. Plus it depends upon some other specifics of your configuration. But I think it definitely warrants getting a bug filed against it. Bob
