+ifupdown's postinst has a bug where it ends up creating
+/etc/network/run as a normal directory rather than a symlink to
+/dev/shm or /lib/init/rw.  This can cause network interfaces to not
+start correctly on boot.  The easiest way to fix this is to run:
+
+  mv /etc/network/run /etc/network/run.old
+  ln -s /lib/init/rw/network /etc/network/run
+  mv /etc/nework/run.old/* /etc/network/run
+  rmdir /etc/nework/run.old/
