Comment 23 for bug 377432

I have seen in many previous posts that the BUG was fixed and the issue was closed. In the contrary this one here seems to be relatively fresh/alive and does not suggest that BUG was killed. Although, relatively recent, I have encountered the same problem that exists now for more than 5 years.
After reboot the /var/run/network directory disappears and has to be recreated in order to get networking up and running. I read about a directory /var/run under root and seems to cause all kinds of problems if incorrect or missing.
In the same token, I believe that it might be very possible that it is related to a particular piece of hardware that is either not captured by the driver or the OS, but may work flawless with other hardware.
Just a thought, and sounds far fetched, because why did it work before the distro upgrade?

Cheer,
Norbert
