Public bug reported:
I cannot get a DHCP address. I expect to get a DHCP address. On a fresh
install of precise pangolin, during install, the network config could
not get an IP address automatically. After reboot, I can set a static IP
address and gateway, and set resolv.conf manually, and I have a working
net connection. The DHCP server on my network works for other machines
including ubuntu machines. The network card is listed by lspci as
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network
Connection (rev 04)
When I initially tried to install precise I used a GPT partition table,
and networking worked fine, but grub did not. I had to use the BIOS boot
menu every time to get it to locate grub on the hard drive. Reinstalling
with an old MS-DOS partition fixed the grub issues, but now I have the
DHCP problem. I'm not sure if maybe it's a firmware issue, where the
firmware require EFI?
I also did a general aptitude uppdate/upgrade, and I'm now using
