Bug Description
After upgrading edgy packages today (will attach the list of all installed packages), the network interface didn't come up, not even manually.
I tried to ifdown, ifup and I got this error:

Yes, I am positive I was running this command as root. This could be related to #61632, but I'm not sure.

Kernel versions I've tried:
Linux elvis 2.6.17-7-386 #2 Wed Sep 6 17:53:03 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Linux elvis 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
I replaced upstart for sysvinit and initscripts which were in /var/cache/ apt/archives, just in case, but it didn't work either.
