I had a similar experience. The installer identified the wireless card as eth0 and the wired network interface on the motherboard as eth1. But on rebooting, I had no net access, as they had become eth2 and eth3. Ifconfig made clear what was happening, so a change to /etc/network/interfaces and an /etc/init.d/networking restart made for a quick fix, but this would have stumped a newbie.
It'd be really nice if the installer created /etc/iftab entries for the identified network interfaces' MAC addresses so this didn't come up, though it's probably far too late for Gutsy. -- network interface numbers weirdness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
