Public bug reported:

Upgrading Ubuntu-11.10 from kernel-3.0.0-12 to kernel-3.0.0-13 breaks
networking, rendering machines unbootable.

Problem is missing /run/network directory reported when
'/etc/init.d/networking restart' is run manually.

Multiple problems...

1) /etc/init/networking.conf creates /var/run/network instead of
/run/network

2) /run/network never populated

Fix seems to be changing /etc/init/networking.conf as follows:

1) change mkdir -p /var/run/network to /run/network

2) exec /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart to populate /run/network

/etc/network/if-up.d/upstart is what's called in /etc/init.d/networking to 
populate /run/network,
so that's what's used in this fix. There may be a more correct way to do this.

This doesn't work though, as it appears tmpfs gets mounted over
/run/network after networking.conf runs.

For now, adding the following big, ugly, simple hack to /etc/rc.local

mkdir -p /run/network && /etc/init.d/networking restart
