[LUG] 169.254.10.5
I got a PC from David Bell (Thanks again!) and totally wiped it and
installed Ubuntu Desktop using the ethernet card - I can never get the
wireless to work at install time.
I've now got something that has cropped up on the last three or so
installs - a phantom IP that I have never entered.
I got the wireless working using a static IP and after a couple of
reboots it all goes funny - the static IP is dropped and a DHCP taken
from my router. And then that is dropped and 169.254.10.5 appears from
nowhere and sits happily but useless on wlan0. I reconfigure and after a
couple of reboots 169.. comes back.
I am getting really pissed off with ubuntu as they've done something
'clever' but not seemingly, given the tools to sort it when it goes
wrong, or document it.
/etc/network/interfaces seems to be ignored completely and
/etc/network/if-up.d has a varying set of files in it ...
Any clues anyone
