Bug Description

Binary package hint: netbase

in feisty if two or more ethernet card are present, only one is configured at startup.
running "/etc/init.d/networking restart" fix the problem until the system is rebooted.
this is the ifconifg output after the boot:

isty:/home/max# ifconfig

this is the output after 'invoke-rc.d networking restart':

this is my '/etc/network/interfaces'

----

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.153.223
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.153.210

autho eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.153.27
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

------

i tried also disabling all the interfaces not present in my hardware,
but nothing changed.

i found the bug installing feisty from a dist-upgrade from edgy.
then i tried a fresh install from the daily-live cd 20070320, but the
problem was still present.

Correct "autho eth1" to "auto eth1", otherwise it won't come up on boot :-)
