Comment 19 for bug 82715

I also have broken network manager. I have two generic Ethernet cards that have always worked before, and which are guaranteed Linux-supported by manufacturers (from Hoary till Dapper have always worked).

I installed Herd 5 yesterday and updated to latest packages. At first both network interfaces worked: Other one is assigned static IP for LAN (eth0), other is assigned IP by DHCP.

A little while later I noticed that either one of the interfaces gets dropped, defaults to no IP assigned. If i go to network manager and reconfigure them, other one starts to work. Say I reconfigure eth1 with dhcp, it gets the IP and starts working, but AT THE SAME MOMENT, the other interface loses its IP. Happens every time, I can have only one interface active and with an IP. Repeated this process several times, always just one interface working at a time. I dont think this can be a hardware issue, since both interfaces DO work, just not at the same time.
