Maybe you just need to tweak some options in your "interfaces" file
(e.g., "allow-hotplug"?):

That was it! I replaced

allow-hotplug eth0

at the top of the stanza by

auto eth0

and now it works fine!
thank you very much.


(don't understand why though ...)
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch05.en.html#list-of-stanzas-in-eni

refers to man 5 interfaces
which doesn't seem to explain what software is doing the work after the plugin of the ethernet cord...
and only if auto and not
allow-hotplug eth0

does anyone know?
