Greetings all; 32 bit Debian wheezy, updated at least daily.
This fact was brought to my attention because I needed a path to a router I needed to do a hard reset on, and reconfigure to do my stuff, but my normal home network isn't on the usual 192.168.1.1 class C, and a hard reset puts the router back to the 1.1 address. So in order to use eth1 as a path to this router, I have to do a separate sudo ifconfig eth1 up as a sudo service networking restart will not restart the second eth1 stanza in my interfaces file, starting only eth0. Normally the interface is not even graced with a cat5 in the socket, and ATM it is but the far end of 5 feet of cat5 is laying on the floor. Is it possible to make this init.d/networking script start everything it finds in the interfaces file?
