I can confirm that I am showing the same symptoms as Dave Gilbert (above) -- the static ip had the exact same problem for me (and I also worked around this by flipping to dchp and back).
But I have just now found what I believe to be the problem: 'auto eth0' needs to be added to /etc/network/interfaces so that it will be brought up when the os boots and runs 'ifup -a'. This should be added when NetworkManager sets interfaces to static ip. Anyways, I don't know how to fix that in NetworkManager, but it doesn't seem too difficult. I hope this helps someone get it fixed. -- network interface doesnt come up on boot when static ip set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187274 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
