Sorry about the delay, I missed your mail originally and only found it during
an INBOX cleanup today.

As I said above, the configuration is the same as in #707070, and that file is
in its logs.  But for your convenience, let's repeat it:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
	hwaddress ether 00:03:0D:5C:C6:6C

Yes.  I wouldn't need ifupdown otherwise.

I cannot test this now; I am on a network that requires that MAC address for
me.
