Public bug reported: It appears that is no longer possible to manually configure the network interface with ifconfig, but only through the network manager GUI
Statically assigning an IP/MASK to an interface requires to change the network settings from "DHCP" to "Manual" using the network manager GUI, rather than issuing "ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897687 Title: Network interface cannot be manually configured using ifconfig To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/897687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
