Comment 13 for bug 889423

I've been testing an experimental patched ifupdown by stgraber https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/experimental/+build/2931666 which should get around any race conditions.
This installs fine onto oneiric too even though the target is precise.

I've had more success with this but still having issues restarting interfaces, they don't seem to go down cleanly for me.
