See:

You are probably running an udev system, and (as suggested in the howto)
are starting hotplug in the boot runlevel. Basically, the network
interfaces are brought up silently by hotplug, and shut down because
they are not supposed to be up in the boot runlevel.

As I don't have any "hotpluggable" network devices, I de-activated
net.agent:

chmod -x /etc/hotplug/net.agent

But this is probably an ugly hack. Anybody has anything better?
