We have three computers here. Upgrades in the last couple of weeks have knocked out networks on all three!
I have the laptops working by purging knetworkmanager.
The desktop was a few weeks behind on updating, I think. Then it, too, had the problem of needing to restart /etc/init.d/networking before the network would actually come up.
I stripped knetworkmanager from it, too, and it worked for a couple of days, but now it comes up unable to talk to the network (but it knows its IP). Switching to dhcp didn't help. Bizarrely, the knetworkmanager .deb isn't in the cache.
I suppose that it *could* be the case that, coincidentally, the ethernet chip blew *and* something in the hardware has stopped it from recognizing the usb keyboard in grub, all at the same time I upgraded to software that stopped foobared networking on two laptops, but . . .
