[Bug 752481] Re: networking is not actually brought down/up when moving to/from runlevel 1

[Stéphane Graber]

So, starting with 12.10 both /etc/init/networking.conf and
/etc/init.d/networking will be the same upstart job and will include a
post-stop target calling ifdown -a.

So in theory, I could change it to stop on switching to runlevel1 and
start on switches to [2345], I'm just not convinced it's a good idea as
we don't really support "ifdown -a && ifup -a" because of devices being
hot-pluggable and sometimes requiring specific bring-up order that
wouldn't be respected by calling "ifup -a".

Title:
  networking is not actually brought down/up when moving to/from
  runlevel 1

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifupdown

  Since the transition where networking has been handled largely by
  upstart, runlevel 1 does not bring down the network. Nor is it brought
  back up in any way by the transition back to runlevel 2.
