'auto' is a directive to ifupdown to try to start the interface automatically at boot. This clearly will always fail according to your description, so your /etc/network/interfaces is broken and should be fixed. > Now, I ask you programmers: why all these "sleep"s?

The network can take more than a minute to be configured in some legitimate circumstances, and it's important that we be as safe as possible in our failsafe. Your bug is that you have a misconfigured system that is causing you to *hit* the failsafe. A properly configured system should never hit the timeout. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
