I think I have this bug as well. I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. I had a static IP wired connection under 8.04 which worked but this stopped working after upgrading to 8.10.
I followed advice from messages above and set [ifupdown] managed=true In my /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf file which allowed me to select a wired connection under NetworkManager, but still I didn't have an internet connection. When I commented out the line: iface eth0 inet static and added auto eth0 in my /etc/network/interfaces file I can at least connect through my wired connection using DHCP but putting in a static IP address still won't work. Something that I have noticed though which I think is odd: When I set my wired connection to use a static IP address, I can't use Firefox to open any websites BUT I am able to ping my IP address and connect via ssh from another machine. So I guess this suggests that it's just outgoing traffic that doesn't work when I use my static IP settings. -- [regression] devices/interfaces not set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces get blacklisted in 0.7 (intrepid) but were managed in 0.6 (hardy and before) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
