Not to my knowledge, but I can see that NetworkManager is installed and started at startup. This may be an explanation. This also may explain why I currently can (but at the time 'auto-dhcp' worked could not) see NetworkManager in the notification area complaining falsely "no network connection".
Guess we can close this report now. -- changing network cable no more automatically asks for new DHCP lease https://launchpad.net/bugs/46309 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
