The rules fails because DRIVERS is empty with ACTION=='remove'
SUBSYSTEM=='net'. IOW udev never runs ifdown for the auto interface.

This also means that subsequent ifup fails because device is already
listed in /var/run/network/ifstate.

The problem exists on feisty and gutsy. Dapper seems to have different
rules that do not check for DRIVERS.

Patch attached: it runs ifup always with --force.

** Attachment added: "Check DRIVERS only with net add. Add --force to ifup 
options."
