(sorry I pressed post by mistake) 1) Ensure that the /etc/network/interfaces file has no 'auto eth0..' only 'auto lo'. Then create a new connections through 'Edit Connections' and enter the mac address and keep ipv4 to 'Automatic (DHCP)'. At first it didn't work, but later it did.
But before that even I edited my interfaces file to add 'auto eth0...'. Connection was done properly but then something was wrong with the network connection panel applet (it did not show no matter what I did). I did what I was told (i.e point 1) and the connection was still proper and the applet was proper. The main point I kept reading was that it is recommended to try connecting using the applet rather than editing the interfaces file. So I thought I would share that. -- Upgrade removes eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579941 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
