I don't like this behavior.

I have eth0 auto in /etc/network/interfaces, so that it gets auto-enabled when plugged in.
This being a laptop it gets moved around and doesn't always have an ethernet connection plugged in.
No I'm supposed to wait two minutes on every boot OR not have the interface connected?
Both are no real options for me.

What does this mean?

How else should I have my interface configured?
BTW, I do not run Gnome, KDE or any other of those desktop environments. I do not have NetworkManager installed and won't install it for this.

I deleted my /etc/init/failsafe.conf for now.
But I really think this behavior shouldn't be forced.
