I apologize for the lack of knowledge on this subject but Andy did Ben
answer your question? Have you guys identified the issue?

hv_set_ifconfig is indeed distro specific but it is failing because the ifstate file has a missing eth0=eth0 entry. Please let me know if this is not good enough explanation and I shall dig deeper.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Title:
  hyper-v: ifdown command not working due to bad ifstate

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It appears that ifdown command is not working because
  “/run/network/ifstate" does not contain eth0=eth0.

  This in turn causes hyper-v's script hv_set_ifconfig.sh to fail as
  follows:

  root@ubuntu:~# ./hv_set_ifconfig.sh /var/lib/hyperv/ifcfg-eth0
  ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
  RTNETLINK answers: File exists
  Failed to bring up eth0.

  It appears that something is wrong with your core networking files for trusty. Please could you help fix?
  Thanks,
  Abhishek
