It seems that systemd is not started. Because the interface is raised
through it, I think that this is the source of your network problem.

In my Debian containers, I purge systemd and I replace it by sysvinit.
You should do the same in order to get a working container. With your
interface up, run these commands in the container to replace systemd by
sysvinit:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install sysvinit sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils --purge -y
# apt-get autoremove --purge systemd -y
