I happen to dislike ifupdown almost as much as NetworkManager. It is a
poorly documented opaque mess. The fact that it's a debian invention
(AFAIK) and not an import from RH-land is about the only significant
point in its favor.
The most straightforward networking setup these days, IMO, is just
running a global instance (ie. not per-interface) of dhcpcd. dhcpcd is
quite smart enough to do such things as bringing iterfaces "up" and
setting up routes by itself. It can even spawn wpasupplicant kids when
necessary.
