It's not. you need to purge it, then install it.
The stanza in network.opts doesnt apply, because it's not using
dhcp/bootp/whatever, and has no IP assigned. that's what the list of
it_true's at the bottom is for. In my default config, they're uncommented.
It seems backwards, I know. but if you leave that file alone, and use
interfaces(5), it'll work.

Get rid of hotplug, it's getting there 'first'.
