Public bug reported:

This occurs in both Ubuntu and Xubuntu Gutsy, both fresh installs.

I have a manual script to connect to my ISP, which does ifup eth0, calls
pptp, etc. On Gutsy, my /etc/network/interfaces file was created to be

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

which is missing the critical line

  iface eth0 inet dhcp

only after adding this does ifup eth0 etc. work.

This issue was not present on Feisty, Edgy or Dapper. (On Feisty I had
to disable NetworkManager, which I also tried on Gutsy, but it didn't
fix things.)
