The functionality for starting interfaces has been moved to a separate 
init-ifupdown recipe for dylan. This should have been noted in the migration 
information in the reference manual but did not make it in in time; I hadn't 
realised it still hasn't been updated in the "current" version of the 
documentation on the website and the dylan branch so I will now make sure that 
happens.

Basically you just need to move your bbappend across to init-ifupdown and it 
should work.

Cheers,
Paul
