# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug

        map eth1

# The primary network interface
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth1
