Title:
  eth0 missing in (/etc/network/) interfaces file

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This occurs in both Ubuntu and Xubuntu Gutsy, both fresh installs.

  I have a manual script to connect to my ISP, which does ifup eth0,
  calls pptp, etc. On Gutsy, my /etc/network/interfaces file was created
  to be

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

  which is missing the critical line

    iface eth0 inet dhcp

  only after adding this does ifup eth0 etc. work.

  This issue was not present on Feisty, Edgy or Dapper. (On Feisty I had
  to disable NetworkManager, which I also tried on Gutsy, but it didn't
  fix things.)
