Comment 68 for bug 259278

Alexander -

/etc/network/interfaces just has the standard
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I was testing out on my *other* network as well - with static IP. I could get neither the wired nor wireless to work there, no error messages on dmesg. And, as before, it works fine under gnome's nm-applet.

Yep, I'm hoping...
