[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#793664: base: network interface eth0 is missing its IPv4 address after reboot

[Micha]

Package: base
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

after starting up the system the network interface eth0 is up but has got only its IPv6 address,
while it is missing its IPv4 address.

Therefore, I cannot reach the internet.

Workaround:
I have to open a terminal and do the following as root:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

Then I have to wait some seconds and the problem is gone as
long as the system is not rebooted again.

After applying the workaround you can with ifconfig -a that
now the IPv4 address has appeared.

Kind regards,
Michael
