Bug Description

The /etc/networking/interfaces file in the default live-cd environment has:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

This prevents network-manager from managing the wired interface on the system.

This is on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 Development Branch i386

I haven't been able to locate the code for this in any of the liveCD packages. The closest I've seen is in casper, which does:

    if [ -z "${NETBOOT}" ]; then
        # default, dhcp assigned
        method="dhcp"
    else
        # make sure that the preconfigured interface would not get reassigned by dhcp
        # on startup by ifup script - otherwise our root fs might be disconnected!
        method="manual"
    fi

was this a netboot install?
