Description dacook 2009-10-13 15:42:08 UTC 
In /etc/init.d/network:runip(), 'ip address add "$@" dev "$int"' is called, but iproute does not by default bring that link up.  Hence, you end up with addressed interfaces but no link or route (which is automatically added when the link goes up).  You need to add a call to do the following as well:

ip link set "$int" up

That would also be the appropriate time to set a requested MTU.

fix-iproute2.patch

All,

this patch will fix the runip function as described in the previous
comment.  Also it shows an example of how to use the ifup_ethx variable
to set an MTU for an interface using iproute2.
