OK, I know what's wrong with ifup@.service. I'll fix it to actually get triggered.
James: To avoid the race between the kernel and /etc/init.d/networking, is it possible to fix your image scripts to mark physical interfaces (eth0) as "allow-hotplug" instead of "auto"? That would mirror what d-i does. ** Summary changed: - networking.service races with kernel interface detection + networking.service races with kernel interface detection, ifup@.service is not being triggered ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374521 Title: networking.service races with kernel interface detection, ifup@.service is not being triggered Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: /lib/systemd/system/ifup@.service specifies: ExecStart=/sbin/ifup --allow=hotplug %I This really needs to be: ExecStart=/sbin/ifup --allow=auto %I Since otherwise, for systems that don't use network-manager, the service will only bring up interfaces which have specified "allow- hotplug $if" in /etc/network/interfaces*.
