I'm thinking it has to be related to hardware or the kernel module of eth0.
I have 3 PC's running identical software (Kubuntu Precise complete up to date):
- 1 older laptop
- 1 older desktop
- 1 brand-new laptop

The install was for all three a clean install: no upgrade from the previous release. The home directories were of course preserved.

Only the brand-new laptop has problems.

For the others is managed=false in NetworkManager.conf and network/interfaces only contains auto eth0 and eth0 comes up properly.

To make the thing even more strange: the brand-new PC was previously running lucid-i386 with the backported oneiric kernel (because the driver for eth0 was not supported by the lucid kernel) and then the settings were managed=false in NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and eth0 was not mentioned at all in /etc/network/interfaces. eth0 did in lucid connect without problems.
