Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: important
For a fixed IP setup in /etc/network/interfaces, the "ifup eth0" command
establishes a connection, but
no route:
# ifconfig -a

No route -- what's going on?
This is new behavior -- scripts that used to work now fail. My /etc/resolv.conf
is fine. I'm not using
udev or resolvconf. Setting the values manually works fine ("route add default
gw 128.97.xxx.1"), but a
mistake that keeps people offline is still an important bug in ifupdown. I
didn't know how to set these
values manually and floundered for a while, decapitated as it were, headless in
cyberspace (my next
movie).
Cheers,
Dave
