I have a similar problem on my machines (I have 7.04 on two machines). Upon boot, I run "/etc/init.d/networking restart" from the command line (Kirk: use <ctrl>-<alt>-F1 to get a virtual terminal) to get everything working OR do as Kirk says (but I use NIS, so logging in as a user other than root is a bit more trouble without networking installed).
This is particularly annoying when upgrading a machine remotely restarts network-manager since I then have to physically go find the machine and run this locally. -- Wired network not enabled upon system boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97278 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
