Confirmed. There is some kind of regression at NetworkManager on Karmic
that prevents it from releasing an interface configured at:
/etc/network/interfaces
The workarround for now is to remove the package network-manager (plus
its companions network-manager-gnome, ...-kde, etc) and configure the
system-server network at /etc/network/interfaces
With no NM (Network Manager) messing with the manually configured
interface, the network connection is quite stable and works before a
session is open by any user, so the system can be used as a server
(printer server, web server, etc)
The regression is there because in Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) it was not
necessary to remove NM to have a single interface configured manually
with system-wide settings.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
