I see the same consistent misbehaviour with eth0. Both interfaces work fine when started without using network-manager or dhclient. The attached strace of dhclient3 shows that dhclient is not allowed to run /sbin/dhclient-script. ** Attachment added: "dhclient3.strace" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22930572/dhclient3.strace -- dhcp3-client can't set IP address due to insufficient rights https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
