I would like to get the network functioning again. This is a laptop with jessie. The laptop does not have a Ethernet port. It is connected to a Dynadock USB 3.0. Ifconfig shows the Ethernet port to be usb0. This system has been working. I updated it to configure the network for Xen. Immediately after, I no longer had Internet access. The Xen update resulted in the following configuration:
/etc/network/interface # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback face usb0 inet manual auto xenbr0 iface xenbr0 inet dhcp bridge_ports usb0 I tried this with eth0 instead of usb0 but no change. After this update, the browser reports 'Server not found'. Running the following: # ifup -a --force produced: Waiting for xenbr0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 32 seconds).

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. When the 'interface' config was run with eth0, the above output said 'eth0 does not exist'. I had previously installed network-manager to get the network to run. So I have tried the above steps with both manage=false manage=true There was no difference in the system response. I would appreciate any suggestions.
