Maybe it would help other people offer some help if you included your 
ifupdown configuration, and also the ifconfig and ping output that 
concerns you?  I would probably check for bugs on ifupdown pkg page also.

I stopped using ifconfig a couple yrs ago.  From what I recall it always 
shows the iface without an IP when it is down?  I never used ifconfig to 
set or manipulate interfaces, but I think it's probably not compatible 
with ifupdown?

I think some ip output might be helpful also.
