Ubuntu has called ifup from a udev rule for pretty much every release, I'm not sure what changed between Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 that has caused your problem.

From the simplest perspective, yes, you have a very complex setup and it's likely not possible to run certain things before the filesystem is writable -- however the things you are doing should not rely on that.

As to the difference between /etc/network and /var/run/network - this is an Ubuntu/Debian difference. It sounds like some scripts are using the Debian /etc path, and need to be updated to use the Ubuntu path.

All-in-all you are experiencing a number of problems, and it would greatly help if you could explain in detail everything you have experienced. We can then get them filed as *separate* bugs that can be addressed.

Thanks
