I have exactly the same problem. After boot the network doesn't start. I tried:
sudo ifdown -a sudo ifup -a and it solved the problem, although I have been using: sudo invoke-rc.d network restart which also solves the problem. The annoyance is that I have to do that after every boot. It seems that the eth0 interface doesn't get the IP address.
