/etc/network/interfaces question

[bread-baker]

on a new install from most recent iso interfaces looks like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 10.100.100.73
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        gateway 10.100.100.2
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

from previous installs, lines like this used to be there

iface eth0 inet manual

Does it matter that ' iface eth0 inet manual' is not there ?

I do not think it matters.

I've not had an issue with things working with or without the "manual" entry.
