Public bug reported: After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 alpha5 the NIC is configured by DHCP instead of using the interfaces file (given below).
I expected the network settings of eth0 to be the same as before the upgrade. A strange thing: ========== sudo ifconfig eth0 down sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.2 up now the eth0 interface has IP=192.168.2.2 sudo route add default gw 192.168.2.10 now the interface has IP=192.168.2.106, the IP it gets from the DHCP server, weird.
