> Thank you for your bug. Do you have the correct key written to /etc/network/interfaces?

No - the complete contents of /etc/network/interfaces are as follows:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

Furthermore, "ls -l /etc/network/interfaces" outputs:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 194 2006-10-18 08:32 /etc/network/interfaces

The modification time of 2006-10-18 is the day Ubuntu was first installed on
the system, two days before the original bug report. Clearly, network-admin
has never written to the file in case.

What exactly do you mean by "restaring the network"?` Assuming you mean
running "/etc/init.d/networking restart", the answer would be "no".
