Comment 31 for bug 1007293

Thanks, Alex. That interfaces file looks completely sane to me, and *should* result in the network being brought up quickly at boot time and in order, no question. So I wonder if something is failing in the ifupdown hooks.

Can you show me the contents of these three directories:
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/
/etc/network/if-up.d/
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/

Can you also check whether you get a /var/log/upstart/network-interface-eth0.log file at boot, and whether it has any possibly-relevant contents?
