If your ethernet cable can be either plugged or unplugged and you
want your system to react when you plug/unplug a cable in, then you need
a server to detect these changes and invoke ifup/ifdown accordingly.
This server can be ifplugd or netplug.
In this situation you simply don't need and don't want neither
'auto eth0' nor 'allow-hotplug eth0' stanzas in your interfaces file.
These are the stanzas which will make your OS hang at boot time and they
are simply useless. Just remove them.

Hi Didier!
I followed your suggestion and installed "ifplugd". It would be nice if that
was the default configuration for desktops:-)
Thank you,
Nik
The backend of simple-netaid also can detect plug/unplug events without
any other server -neither ifplugd nor netplugd-, but there is still work
to do.
I didn't work on it since september, though i have it in mind, of course.
Cheers,
Aitor.
