Bug Description
The upgrade-
I always dist-upgrade when updating my dapper.
after the upgrade, this is how my interfaces file looked like:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
auto eth1
# The primary network interface
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider ppp0
----
'auth eth1' appeared twice in that file, after removing the second one, I could ifup eth1 again and have my network working again.
