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 ...
