Could you post the contents of your /etc/default/networking?
Specifically, it should have either no explicit settings (everything
commented out) or the following settings (which are default):
CONFIGURE_INTERFACES=yes
EXCLUDE_INTERFACES= # (empty)
Just has comments. No active settings.
You're under Wheezy, so I'm assuming sysvinit + LSB, could you also
check whether the networking script is started at boot?
ls -l /etc/rc*.d/S??networking
(should turn up a single link in /etc/rcS.d)
Yes.
If both is the way it should be, could you perhaps set VERBOSE=yes in
/etc/default/networking and look for any relevant boot messages? Not
dmesg/syslog, but on the console.[1]
Also, might be relevant: did you install any software that might take
over network configuration? Such as NetworkManager or wicd or the such?
No.
When I look at the console messages, the networking doesn't show up even
with the zz-wait script inserted. Similarly, running
/etc/init.d/networking start doesn't work.
This is really strange... What does "doesn't work" mean in this context?
No output? A message that it's doing what it wants to do, but it doesn't
actually do it? Some error message?
I just looked at the /etc/init.d/networking source, and I don't see
anything in there that would make it not work other than
if init_is_upstart; then
exit 1
fi
Are you by chance using upstart as init? (Although, while I haven't
tried that with wheezy, ifupdown does install an alternative mechanism
with upstart, so that shouldn't matter...)
If not, what does the following command tell you?
ifup -a -v
Aha! ifup didn't run, so I reinstalled ifupdown. This removed iproute2
and replaced it with iproute along with reinstalling ifupdown. Now my
network is coming up properly. I suspect this is a problem caused by the
wheezy-backports Samba package not getting along with the regular Wheezy
packages. Fortunately it gets along well enough to give me a working
Samba environment even with the older packages.
Thanks Christian!
