Dear Maintainer, We have a system where we need to use allow-hotplug in /etc/network/interfaces to automatically bring up a network interface after the firmware has completed initialising. Unfortunately the ifupdown2 package is missing the required udev rules file and helper script to facilitate this. As a workaround we have manually installed the following required files from the ifupdown package: /lib/udev/ifupdown-hotplug /lib/udev/rules.d/80-ifupdown.rules Please consider including these udev support files from the ifupdown package in future releases of the ifupdown2 package. Kind regards, Antony King.
