[Bug 1047722] [NEW] configure_networking net-DEVICE.conf in /run, but ipconfig writes in /tmp

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions 's configure_networking
says:

 # The NIC is to be configured if this file does not exist.
 # Ip-Config tries to create this file and when it succeds
 # creating the file, ipconfig is not run again.
 for x in /run/net-"${DEVICE}".conf /run/net-*.conf ; do
    [ -e "$x" ] && break 2
 done

Ie, it is expecting /run/net-* to be written, but ipconfig in kblic-
utils in precise is writing that file to /tmp.

See:

 (initramfs) uname -r
