Bug Description
I have 2 partitions: one with Kubuntu Herd 5 + updates & another with Ubuntu Herd 5 + updates.
Kubuntu Feisty does not configure properly the ethernet card at boot.
When I launch KNetwork Manager eth0 is listed as enabled, but does not work.
I have to enter the gateway address manually each time. It does not take effect until I disable
then re-enable eth0.
There is one NIC on this machine wired to a router. I have not modified /etc/network/
it seems that the reconfiguration process described above does modify that file.
This difficulty has persisted through reboots over the past 10+ days; I have not found an exact
duplicate of this report under "Network Manager" and "KNetwork Manager" searches in launchpad.
The standard Network Manager in Ubuntu Feisty simply works w/ static IP;
this is a Kubuntu-specific problem.
