Comment 41 for bug 771372

Hi, we're exactly hit by the problem Vincent described in #40,

This is happened to us on 12.04 and only appeared after an upgrade on 24.9.2012.
Please see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2012-September/264199.html
for some more details.

The problem does not appear on 12.10 anymore, maybe due to the above mentioned refactoring.

Nevertheless, not being able to run sysctl during network interface configuration
seems badly broken. Is there a workaround, should this be re-opened or added as a new bug ?

Yours,
Steffen and Paul.
