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/
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.)

Hi,
I have the same problem on fresh gutsy installs on a Dell E521 with an integrated network card both for gusty64 bit and the normal gutsy 32 bit
the network however works correctly and is listed with ifconfig -a
I have asked some info in a forum about this http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=613098
