I'm having a similar problem. I ran an upgrade from an 8.04 install, and lost network connectivity. I tried fighting with it for a few hours and decided it would be less work to just reinstall the system with the new OS. After the reinstall I found that my system would not maintain the Static IP that I had assigned to it. So after every reboot I have to reconfigure my network. This system is designed to be headless and be run through remote administration using NX, but I can't do that if every time I reboot the system I have to have physical access to get it working again.
Are there any plans to get a patch in place to make static networking usable again? -- [intrepid] new 0.7 branch ignores /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
