Why 'allow-hotplug' and not 'auto'?  'allow-hotplug' is obsolete, as
far as I know, and require network-manager to be running.  I did not
plan to use network-manager, but only ifupdown.  Should we use
network-manager?

The network setup is done at first boot in
freedombox-setup/first-run.d/05_network, and there I was told by
jsullevan to use eth1, not eth0, on the dreamplug.  What is correct?
