Sure, I wasn't suggesting that /etc/network/interfaces was buggy, only that there was something special about the contents. But you're right, this is pretty simple - and has been tested to work reliably in other circumstances.
You do have udev on this system, right, you haven't forcibly removed it? And you're running a standard Ubuntu kernel rather than a hand-compiled kernel? I have never seen /etc/init/network-interface.conf fail. For it to fail so consistently in your environment, I think there must be some particular modification that applies in your environment that we need to isolate. What does 'sudo initctl list | grep network-interface' show? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716429 Title: Networking not automatically available after reboot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
