Colin, Thanks for moving it to network-manager. I tried to do that myself a couple times and couldn't figure out how to do it. This is the first bug I have logged and I was pretty sure I did it wrong. I will read more Launchpad documentation before submitting more.

Reassigning to network-manager for further analysis. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: choose-mirror => network-manager -- Wired network does not work after 8.10 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320268 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

The thing I really noticed was the quotes around the nameserver address in 8.10 and not 8.04.1 I was able to fix the problem by adding this to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf # Added by Jerry #supersede netmask 255.255.255.0 #supersede broadcast 255.255.255.255 supersede nameserver 192.168.2.1 # end Added by Jerry After trial and error and numerous reboots I found the only thing needed was the nameserver option. I do not know if the problem is with dhclient or NetworkManager. I read through several problems in the forum with 8.10 networking that might be the same as this. -- Wired network does not work after 8.10 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320268 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
