Bug Description
I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 couple of days ago.
I had a ethernet connection with static IP address. Here is my /etc/network/
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.254.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.254.254
auto eth1
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0
I will follow eth1 in this report.
I however have a DHCP server running as well that assigns ip addresses between 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.199
Upon upgrade to 8.10 I noticed that the network settings were changed to DHCP and eth1 got an IP from the range. I configured NetworkManager for static but no luck. Did /etc/init.
Reboot overwritten the settings. Had to do /etc/init.
Not sure what other hardware/software information is required.
Looks to me like this is a duplicate of bug 259214
