I encountered the same problem in my axioo notebook Model: M72SR/Neon TVS612PW
I've successfully configure the LAN interface manually (Manual Configuration), but couldn't activate it. However the classic way below worked like charm : # ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.10 up # route add default gw 192.168.10.1 Note : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/network# cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/network# cat interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.10.1 -- rumy -- [Hardy] Network can not be configured through the NetworkManager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
