When I insert a network cable into my ethernet port, network manager does not automatically assign an IP to my network device eth0:
I was carrying out laptop testing on Networking - Cabled in Ubuntu Desktop amd64 for Quantal Beta 2 (http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/239/builds/24437/testcases/894/results), I disabled wireless networking in Network Manager, inserted a network cable into my ethernet port, but no IP address is assigned to eth0.
I had to open terminal and insert this command:
 sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.17.30 up
only after this did my wired network start working.
