/etc/network/interfaces migration overlooks wlan0

[Matt Zimmerman]

Binary package hint: network-manager

The wireless interface in my laptop (iwl4965) is named wlan0. The most recent network-manager update commented out all of the automatic stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces except this one, causing me to lose networking because NM then started to ignore my only active interface.

Please attach your /etc/network/interfaces file.

[Winckler (winckler)]

Same here.

I'm sending mine /etc/network/interfaces, I hope it will help.
By the way, same wireless card.

Comment the line out solve the problem.

please provide the backed up original as well. its called /etc/network/interfaces.bak-*

thanks,

I have only one /etc/network/interfaces.bak-*.

Hope it helps.

I think this migration script fixes the issue. To test copy your backed up (original) interfaces file to /tmp/ and run the script like:

 NIF_FILE=/tmp/interfaces.bak-0 sh ifblacklist_migrate.sh

with the new ifblacklist_migrate.sh attached here.

  * debian/ifblacklist_migrate.sh: fix "/etc/network/interfaces migration
    overlooks wlan0" (LP: #141580).

I know it is already fix, but for you to know, the script do work as expected.

Thanks.
