Comment 18 for bug 79626

Just installed the BETA FEISTY version on my lappy. To my big surprise the ETH0 is not being recognised. Which worked flawlesly in Edgy and Dapper.
This lappy uses the R8169 chispet for its NIC and when doing lsmod the 'r8169' module is loaded but nothing is using it.
'ifup eth0' reports that ETH0 is unknown. But 'ifconfig up eth0' brings the ethernet online. But the problem is that I must do this everytime I restart Feisty in order to have internet conectivity.

I already tried inserting this into '/etc/network/interface'
'auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp'
and then restarting the network but I get an error that ETH0 does not exist.
