I am not sure anyone is actually looking into it. Updating to kernel version 64 resulted it system assigning yet another new name for the interfaces, which in turn screwed up the networking. In my case, as I was ready for that, I just listed what the system now called the interfaces, edited the /etc/network/interfaces file to include the new names and, after a reboot, the system got connected. It is a workaround, but that's all I can do for now.
