Yes, it's the interface file (which you already posted). Blow away yours and
recreate.  Be sure you do not have any strange characters, UTF8 type,or
ALT255 null characters, tabs etc.  I have seen debian systems flag
interfaces with problems with the initialization files.  Other reasons for
interface flapping can be due to kernel drivers, check your dmesg file for
clues?

You can debug one you like for your BOTH UP configuration, and move it
between the ETHERNET ONLY configuration.
