Checked and still crashes. It seems to do it when the default interface is up but not connected.
Method: remove ethernet cable and 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart', watch the dhclient timeout.

It does not crash (testing after each command) if I do:
1) 'sudo ifdown eth0'
2) 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' with no parameters
3) 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.123 netmask 255.255.255.0'
4) 'sudo route add -net default gw 192.168.1.123'
I did try 'sudo route add -net default gw 0.0.0.0', but apparently this is illegal.
After the crash presence server is not running.
