I have a similar issue that might confirm this bug: After upgrading from dapper to feisty beta, my network interfaces with static IP assigned will come up but no IP will be configured.
Currently, I have 3 ethernet interfaces, 2 static IP and 1 DHCP. Starting in recovery (single) mode, all interfaces come up fine. Starting normally, only the dhcp interface will have an IP assigned until I manually restart networking with "/etc/init.d/networking restart", then all interfaces come up as they should. Booting without splash shows no obvious errors, nor do the dmesg logs. I don't see anything wrong in the init scripts: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# find /etc/ -lname "*networking*" /etc/rcS.d/S40networking /etc/network/interfaces hasn't changed: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.32.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.45.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp I tried disabling (and even removing completely) the firewall (shorewall) and disabling avahi with no success. My test hardware is also pretty old (Dell Optiplex GX150) -- Ethernet interface not configured at boot time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94095 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
