Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
The built-in wired device is eth0, configured in /etc/network/interfaces as follows: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp When a USB ethernet device is plugged in or unplugged, NetworkManager erases /etc/resolv.conf, leaving it with only the following content: # Generated by NetworkManager This is disruptive and requires "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0" to recover from.
