Herb McNew (herb) wrote : network interface name change with xenial upgrade

Hi,

I just (2016-02-26) pgraded from wily to xenial in my VMWare VM. The network interface name changed but the upgrade process didn't change /etc/network/interfaces. As such I was left without networking. This may be related to bug #1473542, but obviously isn't the same.
