Public bug reported:
So in the process of trying to establish a permanent mac address for my
laptop for router-verification, I modified my /etc/network/intefaces to:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:08:69:12:34:56
this promptly caused the network manager icon to disappear after reboot but my
mac address was changed and I could get wired internet. I had this problem
before and was able to change the mac address AND get the icon, but I don't
remember how. I believe it was the addition of the inet dhcp bit or something
to that effect but I couldn't get it this installation.
I'm probably just being a noob with this and its something obvious that
I'm doing wrong.
