[Bug 1251401] Re: Raring LTS backport kernel breaks dhcp when bringing ethernet device up

 

Jeff Lane, given the Raring enablement kernel is EoL as per
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack , would this have
changed for you updating to the latest kernel series?

Title:
  Raring LTS backport kernel breaks dhcp when bringing ethernet device
  up

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Following the instructions here: https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/config-
  local.html to install juju-local to use the local provider for juju, I
  installed the Raring backport packages onto my 12.04.3 LTS system
  (linux-image-generic-lts-raring linux-headers-generic-lts-raring)

  On completion of the package installation, I rebooted and discovered
  the system had no IP address.

  Looking at the syslog and everything seems fine:

  however, even though the eth0 device is configured to come up
  automatically and grab a dhcp address, it does NOT come up and grab
  the address.

  After a boot, if I do an ifconfig, I only see the loopback device:

  bladernr@deployer:~$ ifconfig
  lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
            inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
            inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

            RX bytes:98699 (98.6 KB)  TX bytes:98699 (98.6 KB)

  
  if I do an ifconfig -a, it shows that eth0 is not configured:
  bladernr@deployer:~$ ifconfig -a 
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1f:16:35:57:90

            RX bytes:98699 (98.6 KB)  TX bytes:98699 (98.6 KB)


  if I do "sudo ifup eth0" I get a warning that eth0 is already configured
  bladernr@deployer:~$ sudo ifup eth0
  ifup: interface eth0 already configured

  The ONLY way I can recover my ethernet device is to manually assign it
  an IP address and the manually add  a default gateway so I can
  communicate outside the laptop.

  Once I've manually added the IP and gateway, I can get out and
  actually work again.

  This is 12.04.3 Server on a Thinkpad x201 with an Intel 82577LM
  gigabit NIC onboard.
