Public bug reported:
Dell Latitude D820.
Blank install of 7.10, with custom partitioning.
When the install had finished, I was able to sudo aptitude update &&
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade.
That gave me a kernel update and various other stuff, so I needed to
reboot.
Upon restarting, the ethernet card doesn't work; it was working
previously, since I downloaded the updates over my LAN, but the wireless
card is fine, so I can still get on my home network. Unfortunately, this
installation of Ubuntu came about after a year of suffering on Windows
Vista at work and I'd finally got my boss to agree to me migrating to
Ubuntu. But if networking doesn't work, then I'm left looking a little
foolish and buggered. We don't have wireless in the office, so I need
the ethernet card to work.
vanilla, untouched /etc/network/interfaces:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Attaching syslog snippet showing me on the wireless connection at home,
then plugging in the network cable, letting it bork my network
connection, and then unplugging again so that the wireless connection is
restored.
I'm going to try rolling back the kernel via grub options, and see how
that affects things.
