ad45c32a12 Declare Standards-Version

9fea84ca65 Fix ifupdown configuration for wireless connections.

Otherwise we would only leave the loopback interface… When dealing with
a wireless interface that's considered secured (WPA or non-empty WEP
passphrase), protect /etc/network/interfaces by setting its mode to 600.

2e3f474a05 Fix DHCP+SLAAC case on wireless interfaces.

At least in the WPA case, wpa-* options cannot be set in both the “inet
dhcp” and the “inet6 auto” stanzas: testing shows that wpa_supplicant
would trigger association, possibly get an address via DHCP, before
moving on to the SLAAC stanza, and deauthenticate, leaving the network
interface DOWN.

If both DHCP and SLAAC are enabled, IPv6 settings should be received
via RAs anyway, so writing a SLAAC entry seems superfluous.

1ce9254ac7 Disable hotplug detection.

Last commits about hotplug detection are around 2005, which is a very
long time ago kernel-wise and udev-wise. A wireless USB dongle shared
from the host via libvirt appears as hotpluggable, but both lo and
ens3 appear several times in /etc/network/devhotplug, which seems to
hint that what worked 15+ years ago no longer does.

Writing allow-hotplug entries becomes very problematic when network
interfaces need some time to show up (e.g. the aforementioned dongle,
rtl8192cu-based), and networking.service returns before they have a
chance to appear: this means no configuration at all.

Switching to auto all the time avoids this issue. And if some device
is unplugged, the only downside is a slightly longer delay at bootup,
and a failed networking.service unit.

c073516b4f DRAFT: Disable hotplug detection.

Last commits about hotplug detection are around 2005, which is a very long
time ago kernel-wise and udev-wise. A wireless USB dongle shared from the
host via libvirt appears as hotpluggable, but both lo and ens3 do as well,
as they appear several times in /etc/network/devhotplug; this seems to
hint that what worked 15+ years ago no longer does.

A regression in ifupdown 0.8.40 (#1022843) broke support for allow-hotplug
entries at boot-up, which led to the following prospecting commit message:

    Writing allow-hotplug entries becomes very problematic when network
    interfaces need some time to show up (e.g. the aforementioned dongle,
    rtl8192cu-based), and networking.service returns before they have a
    chance to appear: this means no configuration at all.

    Switching to auto all the time avoids this issue. And if some device
    is unplugged, the only downside is a slightly longer delay at bootup,
    and a failed networking.service unit.

With the regression fixed, netcfg can probably keep writing allow-hotplug
entries; whether and how to choose between auto and allow-hotplug doesn't
seem obvious though.
