Check if you still have a /etc/network/options file. That has been
deprecated. If you remove or rename that file, networking should start again.
That didn't work for me (I was having the same problem, but on a laptop). I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts so:
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the interface
# start_fn () { return; }
start_fn () { ifup $1; }
# Extra stuff to do before shutting down the interface
# stop_fn () { return; }
Those lines appear at the end of the file.
