Comment 9 for bug 1225922

Thanks for the quick responses! My issue is that I'm trying to run through additional steps after the network is configured: namely download and run chef-client. (on trusty Ubuntu 14.04)

Sometimes, the timings work out but most of the time, Ubuntu's network config and cloud-init step on each other's toes, causing the Chef omnibus install to fail.

chef:
  install_type: omnibus
  ...
runcmd:
  - ifdown eth0
  - ifup eth0
  - ifup eth1
  - chef-client

Is there a potential way to get it working which plays nicely with running additional init steps? Thanks so much!
