I too had huge problems with this issue. I have a 14.04 server blade that takes ages to reboot, but currently it is the only way to restart networking when adding for example network bridges.
This problem still exists. It is a feature regression. Stop denying that fact so it can be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301015 Title: Networking does not restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1301015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
