Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After a powerloss the wheezy Linux container was restarted automatically.
Unfortunately the IP for the network interface was not brought up automatically.

Doing a network restart (/etc/init.d/networking restart) solved the problem. 
This behaviour does not occur with squeeze.
Therefore I compared the two init scripts.

Have a look at the start section:
...
if ifup -a $exclusions $verbose && ifup_hotplug $exclusions $verbose
...

"ifup -a" does not bring up the interface as long as /run/network/ifstate is 
available. If an unclean network shutdown is done, the file is kept.
"ifup -a --force" would do the trick.

I've a very simple networking config:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.1.102.170
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.1.102.1

Thank you,
Christoph
