Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
I just installed Gusty with kernel 2.6.22-12. During the installation two ethernet cards were detected in the machine as eth0 and eth1 (and there are only two). I used eth0 to install the system. Upon rebooting /etc/network/interfaces had eth0 configured as I specified in the installer. However eth0 (and eth1) do not exist. They are both e1000 supported cards and the e1000 driver is loaded. For some reason both eth0 and eth1 are detected as such, however the actual interfaces the kernel sees are eth2 and eth3 grep e1000 /var/log/dmesg [ 78.371669] e1000: 0000:03:0e.0: e1000_probe: (PCI-X:100MHz:64-bit) 00:0b:db:43:61:b3 [ 78.407129] e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 78.678746] e1000: 0000:04:0d.0: e1000_probe: (PCI-X:100MHz:64-bit) 00:07:e9:0c:d4:39 [ 78.714164] e1000: eth1: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 87.694177] e1000: eth2: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX ifconfig eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:DB:43:61:B3 inet addr:141.212.106.76 Bcast:141.212.106.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20b:dbff:fe43:61b3/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:893 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:160 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:77550 (75.7 KB) TX bytes:22090 (21.5 KB) Base address:0xdcc0 Memory:ff6e0000-ff700000 Note that the hardware addresses that the driver originally noted as eth0 and the device i later configured as eth2 are the same. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- network interface numbers weirdness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
