Looking at that, I'm wondering how it is supposed to know that ath0 is
actually eth0.
If you do an ifconfig -a after booting you may actually find an ath0
device up and with an address associated, but you will probably also have
a blank eth0.
If my reading of the man page (man 5 interfaces) is correct, changing
"mapping ath0" to "mapping eth0" and removing ath0 from the auto line will
correct the problem.
