Public bug reported: /etc/init.d/networking will fail when /etc/network/interfaces has anything in it that is not auto. This is because ifup/ifdown looks for a file ifstate in /var/run/network and the directory doesn't exist yet. As a temporary solution, I added the following like to /etc/init.d/networking:
[ -d /var/run/network ] || mkdir -p /var/run/network Without this change and /etc/network/interfaces with something other than auto, startup will hang in nfs-*.
