=46rom man interfaces

Stanzas beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physical=20
interfaces to be brought up when ifup is run with the -a option.  (This
option  is  used  by  the system boot scripts.)  Physical interface names=20
should follow the word "auto" on the same line.  There can be multiple
"auto" stanzas.  ifup brings the named interfaces up in the order listed.

=46rom the ifup manpage

      -a, --all
              If given to ifup, affect all interfaces marked auto.  Interfa=
ces=20
are brought up in the order in  which  they  are  defined  in  /etc/net-
              work/interfaces.  If given to ifdown, affect all interfaces. =
=20
Interfaces are brought down in the order in which they are currently listed
              in the state file.

Are you suggeting to use "ifup -a" instead of "ifup bnep0"? Why would I wan=
t=20
to bring up all interaces again.


Somehow I do not get rid of the impression that I missed something...

Thanks,
Rainer
