I would try following steps:

1. comment out (put a # in front) of unnecessary lines in 
/etc/network/interfaces (although I'm not sure they influence anything).

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#mapping eth0
#   script grep
#   map eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

2. If 1. doesn't work then go for Florian Kulzer's suggestion and 
comment out 'allow-hotplug eth0' and add 'auto eth0'

Note: commenting unnecessary lines is safer than just deleting them as 
you can always remove the # if anything goes wrong.

Regards,
Andrei
