Public bug reported:

After upgrading from hardy to intrepid, my VirtualBox tap-like ethernet
interface vbox0 stopped working.  It seems that the static ip address I
defined in /etc/network/interfaces somehow no longer gets assigned at
boot time.  The interface comes up, but with only an ipv6 interface.  If
I manually run "ifdown vbox0" and then "ifup vbox0", the correct ipv4
address gets assigned.

The command I used to create vbox0:

sudo VBoxAddIF vbox0 myusername

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto vbox0
iface vbox0 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
virtualbox-user myusername

Installed package:

virtualbox-ose           2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1
linux-image-generic      2.6.27.9.13
