Removed and reloaded network-manager (hence ubuntu-desktop). I now find that following a hard reboot, the network manager shows no network connection. However, if I click the NM icon and click 'Wired Network' the NM finds the card & network works properly.
There are no wireless devices on this machine & IP is set for a static address. /etc/network/interfaces is set as: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.4.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.4.1 Seems that NM should default to /etc/network/interfaces settings. -- Feisty network-manager 0.6.4-6ubuntu3 update killed NIC https://launchpad.net/bugs/92085 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
