Re: NetworkManager bug in Lubuntu?

 

Update: both Ubuntu and Lubuntu installed from their respective 10.04 CDs do
not have any eth0-related entries in /etc/network/interfaces. Lubuntu
installed from 10.04 mini iso does have the usual:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

which causes NetworkManager to not manage eth0 by default. Looks like we
need to update the instructions...

Regards!
Mikhail
