This is most likely because we currently pass --disable-ifupdown to the 
configure script unconditionally. This has been so since commit 52c7f43fdefbe7 
(network-manager: bump to 0.9.8.0). Maybe Thomas, the author of said commit, 
can explain the reason for that.

In case --enable-ifupdown does not increase the target size significantly 
(relatively speaking), then a patch enable ifupdown would probably be 
accepted.

[skipped config fragments containing potentially sensitive information]

Do you use all these fragments to generate a unified .config?

Please send the minimal .config that exhibits your issue. Minimizing the 
.config further with 'make savedefconfig' would be nice as well.
