This is still a problem, at least for me. I've bought 2 new Dell desktop machines to test, so hopefully they can replace our old custom-built desktop machines. These machines are Dell optiplexes 745 with a broadcom onboard network (exact type unknown atm, uses the tg3 driver)
However, with our current Dapper installation (x86 and x64) we have this problem. After booting, /etc/init.d/networking hangs for a short while, afterwards no network interface is up. However, the file /var/run/networking/ifstate still contains the following: lo=lo eth0=eth0 and as such, ifup -a won't bring up the network interfaces. ifup -a --force works as well, as does /etc/init.d/networking restart. However, doing ifup -a --force inside /etc/init.d/networking does not solve this problem. I've never had this problem with any of our other machines, so it basically means we can't use these computers until feisty is released and production-quality. -- Network connection failed after booting (Dapper 6.0.6) https://launchpad.net/bugs/54911 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
