Bug Description
After upgrading to 8.10, I couldn't connect to my router. My router is set as a DHCP server which has alwas worked fine.
I tried to set the IP address manually, first by setting /etc/network/
That failed and I had to revert the file.
Then I tried to set it using ifconfig:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
That failed with the following error: SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available.
After fiddling around some more, I put my backup back (a working hardy) and retried the upgrading procedure. It failed again. Now I'm back on Hardy and I'm waiting for the 8.10 CD to arrive and try a clean install.

I tried a clean install of Intrepid from the final ISO, the Network Connection worked initially but upon upgrading the kernel through Update Manager, the next reboot rendered the Network not working. While not returning a specific error that I can ascertain, it would not work in either static or dynamic configuration. I'm using an Intel D945GCLF motherboard; I think the onboard lan might be Realtek 8 series, I can provide more info if required.
