Public bug reported: saucy network configuration is behaving strangely. i've installed saucy via netboot, selecting openssh-server only. saucy netboot found and used my cable modem just fine, but the network configuration it installed does not find my cable modem. precise works fine, so i brought forward /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/udev/rules.d/70 -persistent-net.rules from precise. surprisingly, this didn't work.
details below. precise properly obtains an address for eth0 from the cable modern. saucy doesn't, and inserts a bizarre local address instead. under precise, which works: precise$ uname -a Linux nana 3.2.0-41-lowlatency #45-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 26 11:06:24 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux precise$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:c7:d9:55:3f inet addr:71.195.45.129 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:576 Metric:1 RX packets:72876 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:45675 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:19570389 (19.5 MB) TX bytes:5011797 (5.0 MB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5a:55:cf:29 inet addr:192.168.0.6 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::204:5aff:fe55:cf29/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2201 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1785 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:693375 (693.3 KB) TX bytes:674011 (674.0 KB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:60728 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:60728 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:17205585 (17.2 MB) TX bytes:17205585 (17.2 MB) precise$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 71.195.44.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 71.195.44.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 precise$ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static netmask 255.255.255.0 address 192.168.0.6 precise$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules #
