I've a system w/ 5 NICs, 4 of which are to be configured up, with no
addresses.
/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.9.8.228
netmask 255.255.255.192
gateway 10.9.8.254
iface eth1 inet manual
up echo
iface eth2 inet manual
up echo
iface eth3 inet manual
up echo
iface eth4 inet manual
up echo
At boot, when NetworkManager gets a hold of things, no interfaces are properly
configured, and eth2 is the "better connection" (syslog attached). Here's
ifconfig

Getting even more curious, after doing 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' ,
the network configuration is as I would expect.
This is BROKEN.
Running kubuntu feisty, fully updated as of 20070328.
