Found it! Still do not know with dhclient works but network ifup does not but...
I found out that network manager was NOT really managing my eth0 device due to my /etc/network/interfaces config. I changed it to: auto lo iface lo inet loopback #iface eth0 inet dhcp #auto eth0 So that NOW it NetworkManager will manage the interface. The interface was UP by NetworkManager now BUT still have some problems because I need some custom config for my network: 1) Static routes 2) Domain searches (first rflabs.com and then rfranco.com) For the time being I just added a couple of scripts at /etc/network/if-up.d/: 1) static-routes: #!/bin/bash route add -net 192.168.199.0/24 gw 10.90.12.61 dev eth0 2) resolvfix: #!/bin/bash echo "" >> /etc/resolv.conf echo "#resolvfix at /etc/network/if-up.d/resolv.fix" >> /etc/resolv.conf echo "domain rfranco.com" >> /etc/resolv.conf echo "search rflabs.com rfranco.com" >> /etc/resolv.conf Is there a cleaner way to set this custom network settings? Do the Gnome/Kde GUIs allow to do this? Are there plans for them to do it ever? -- Network Manager unable to resume network after suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261391 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
