Public bug reported: I did a clean install on a Lenovo Z50 70 with an erased hard disk from the Server install CD version 14.04.2 LTS.
lsb_release -rd Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS The install succeeded without warnings. Packages were downloaded from online. After reboot the system came up normally to a command prompt, but there were no working network. connections. The r8169 Ethernet driver had loaded normally and there was nothing strange in dmesg. Further debugging via lshw -c network showed that only the loppback interface was configured and the other interfaces were marked *-network DISABLED. Checking /etc/network/interfaces indeed showed that there was no configuration for the relevant devices. workaround: Manually edited /etc/network/interfaces and added the following lines auto p2p1 ifacce p2p1 inet dhcp reboot, and all was nominal.
