A (ugly) work around is to use the loopback pre-up script. /etc/network/interfaces:

Definitely, this job should be done by NM. -- NetworkManager does not call /etc/network/if-pre-up.d scripts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
