tags 673658 + patch thanks Hi,
this is caused by the new ifup_hotplug method in networking.init. It only checks for [ -e "/sys/class/net/$iface" ] and asumes that if the file is there, the interface is up. Which it's not. The proper fix would be checking for [ -e "/sys/class/net/$iface" -a "$(cat /sys/class/net/$iface/operstate)" = up ] I pushed this to my bitbucket fork: https://bitbucket.org/evgeni/ifupdown/changesets/tip/branch(%22bug_673658%22) Please pull in asap as this gets really annoying on machines with many NICs and only few connected.
