This is ultimately a limitation/design choice of ifupdown, specifically of "auto" interfaces. To bring up your interface race-free, i.e. when your hardware is actually plugged in and available, you'd have to use allow-hotplug, as this activates the interface via udev. allow-hotplug does have other downsides though. I think, this is ultimately only fixable by ifupdown becoming a daemon which listens for uevents and configures the interfaces when they show up. For jessie I suggested a workaround in [1], which runs "udevadm settle" in /etc/init.d/networking, so makes it more likely to succeed. I'm re-assigning this bug to ifupdown, as it is not directly related to systemd. It should probably be merged with [1]. It would probably be helpful, if you can test the patch from [2] [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766943#124 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766943#129 -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
