Comment 2 for bug 1080454

Hi,

I have used your information and now indeed all works fine. I will even remove network-manager and network-manager-gnome and retry wicd.

However, and although I know Ubuntu distributions mostly, I am more an Archlinux user, so editing files from the system don't worry me personnally. But I am very much interested in using Ubuntu once a while, in contributing a little (when I can) and I am even more interested in installing a Ubuntu on the machines of the people I know around me.

So I would have a question regarding this issue. As Ubuntu is meant to be the very easiest distributions for all, and to avoid having to edit some files in the system, which are mostly unknown by the end users, shouldn't there be some kind of process implemented to avoid this "gloubi-glouba" and therefore avoid having to edit /etc/network/interfaces ? :)

Thanks.
