Am I overlooking something obvious (no sarcasm intended)? I couldn't get the wired network interface to work, either by setting it up as unmanaged or managed by NetworkManager. The machine I'm having trouble with has an Asus A8N-E motherboard which uses an Nvidia nForce 4 Ultra chipset; don't know if this is of interest but the manual includes the following information about the LAN adapter
NVIDIA nForce 4 built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY supports: - NV ActiveArmor - NV Firewall I was hoping that there might be something like a 'nightly build' of Xubuntu 9.10 beta (to get around the lack of connectivity for updating) but what I ended up doing was to use Synaptic to remove (not completely) network-manager (and the few dependent packages network-manager-gnome, libnm-util1, and libnm-glib2). I then added these lines to /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 eth0 iface inet dhcp and rebooted. I'm now in the process of installing updates. I'd like to comment that when I got frustrated with 9.10 beta I tried installing 9.04 and had similar issues. ...the updates just finished installing, I rebooted my system, and networking is down again. After this reboot I checked /etc/resolv.conf and it has the 'nameserver' entry that it should have when this system uses dhcp. I also found that the system is requesting and getting a valid lease file (in /var/lib/dhcp3) as a result of these reboots. But ifconfig shows that the interface is only configured with a self- assigned ipv6 address. -Tom -- 9.10(beta) - wired network auto config problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445550 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
