I'm afraid you will need to dig deeper here, I do not use ifup
(it's badly designed and doesn't meet my needs). It doesn't
mean that I an unwilling to apply fixes to it, but someone
else needs to produce the patches.
Start here:
networking/ifupdown.c
if (!FORCE) {
llist_t *state_list = read_iface_state();
const llist_t *iface_state =
find_iface_state(state_list, iface);
if (cmds == iface_up) {
/* ifup */
if (iface_state) {
bb_error_msg("interface %s already
configured", iface);
continue;
}
} else {
...
}
llist_free(state_list, free);
}
Looks into find_iface_state() and find out why it is returning non-NULL.

It's a kernel message. You probably have some problem with klogd/syslogd
and kernel messages are printed to console.
