As I'd mentioned before, the problem isn't that the interface doesn't come up on boot, it does, but since it's a point to point interface, when I reboot the computer on the other end, it goes down and doesn't come back up automatically. That is, link going down and up makes the network configuration stay down, I have to manually take the interface down and back up to make it work again.
Not the solution you want but, as a last resort, you could always have a cron script that checks every minute if the link is down...
Or consider putting "* * * * * /sbin/ifup eth2" in root's crontab. If eth2 is up, it simply rereads the configs (which haven't changed). If it was down, it brings it up.
