[SOLVED] Dynamic Network Config

[mk01]

nope! if you remove eth0 from "auto" (so you disable auto on eth0), eth0 will just be tested for 3s if has physical link. if not, no problem and eth0 is not considered as requirement. "lo" will make all requirements satisfied.

wlan0 is completely left as default (hot plug reacting on udev event - wlan0 plugged in - only).

I would do it though one upstart job, "task" - triggered on "net-device-up" and "net-device-down" (each has parameters IFACE and INTERFACE (being the same value)). and actual interface status is "test -e /run/network/ifup.$IFACE".

with this script you easily do the "automatic". and specials you can put into "/etc/network/if-*" folders, according the name and functions. they get automatically called. parameters are again IFACE and INTERFACE
