Public bug reported: I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 13.10 and copied a previously working configuration of /etc/interfaces from my old system (ubuntu 11.04) to my new system.
The config (/etc/interfaces) looks like this auto lo iface lo inet loopback #use guessnett mapping eth0 script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown map timeout: 3 map default: none iface home inet static address 192.168.1.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 iface none inet dhcp iface nocable inet manual test missing-cable ifplugd is installed but if I plugin a LAN cable nothing happens. Doing (everything as root) ifup eth0=home works as expected. If I try to execute guessnet manually by /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown eth0 nothing happens, the program just runs without any output. Adding the --debug option just gives me /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown --debug eth0 guessnet: program name is guessnet-ifupdown: enabling ifupdown mode Then it seems to sleep again. Any idea how to fix this?
