Re: [PLUG] eth0 at boot ubuntu 10.04- auto eth0 is there

[Lee Marzke <lee@marzke.net>]

Ron,

If you running a desktop, the easiest way is to revert all changes to /etc/networking/interfaces and
just use Network manager GUI ( Enter Static IP for eth0 ) or remove Network manager and use wicd.

If you need to use the command line, make changes to /etc/networking/interfaces and you may need
to review the Debian manual:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch05.en.html#_the_basic_network_configuration_with_ifupdown

Perhaps hotplug is involved ?ÂÂÂ The old way of just hard coding static IP's didn't really work well with unplugged
cables, etc. so I think Ubuntu (Debian) is now using hotplug or similar to handle this.

FYI:
On my Laptop ( Ubuntu 10.04 64bit) I use Network manager successfully with any combination of
cables, WiFi, and OpenVPN and everything including DHCP, pushed DNS servers and pushed routes
works after added resolvconf per my howto:

For my servers, I use Ubuntu 10.04 64bit server, ( running on Vsphere + ESXi 4.0 ) and it works normally
using /etc/networking/interfaces
