I have two machines (out of a group of ten) that will not bring up their

The remaining eight machines have no problem with allow-hotplug. (which is the
default as setup by the d-i)
It does not seem to correlate to kernel version. The two �auto� machines are
running 4.12 and 4.9; The �allow-hotplug� machines are running anything
between 3.16 and 4.12.
Nor does it seem to correlate with static vs dhcp. The two �auto� machines are
both using dhcp. The �allow-hotplug� machines are using a mixture of static
and dhcp.
Anybody have a clue as to what�s going on?
Thanks in advance�

Hi, Rick
As you have pointed out, things have changed, have you ran #ifconfig -a
to get the name of your device? I'm thinking the name you are using is
not the same name the system is using and why hotplug is not working?
