10 That's what you're doing wrong. The net.eth* scripts will detect ifplugd
11 and use it. Put net.eth0 in the default runlevel. there is no
12 configuration to do, it "just works" [tm]. I have my laptop set up like
13 this, even though it usually starts up with no network cable connected

33 eth0 is the wired interface. The only configuration I have down is
34 edit the postup function on conf.d/net to bring down/up eth1 (the
35 wireless interface) when eth0 comes up/down.
