Steve, even with an empty interfaces file, my localhost interface is
getting brought up *somehow*:
kr...@nausicaa:/etc/network % ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

which means that whatever mechanism upstart is using to receive
notifications of interfaces going up or down is not getting all of them.
I assume that means one or more of upstart, udev, or NetworkManager is
broken. How does upstart receive notification that the interface has
been brought up?
