It still comes up with the *static* IP in /etc/network/interfaces?
Well, the only thing I can guess from the above is that you have a
post-install command in your /etc/modules.conf file that is running
ifup when the module is inserted. I could be completely wrong, but
that is where I would look, assuming you have not already done this.
I'm sorry if this is no help, but this problem is something I have
never seen before.
Cheers!
