Lost WAN default gateway address after reboot

My Bubba2 is dropping to zeros WAN default gateway address after reboot.
How could it be fixed?

In the file /etc/network/interfaces the default gateway address is retained, but there is no line:
auto the0

If I got the idea from googling right then in /etc/network/interfaces there should be line auto eth0
than it should bring up the eth0 interface on bootup.

The bringing up and down of all interfaces is handled solely by ifplugd. We are looking on to the dropping of default WAN gateway issue, it could much likely be a bug from our side.

Can you give us a little more detail about your network setup?

Do you use the WAN port? DHCP or static?
Do yuu use the LAN port? DHCP or static?

I use both ports.
And both are static configuration.

Did you change any in the /etc/network/interfaces file?; we hange checked, and the default gateway is retained after reboot; and following is how an interface file shold look like when both LAN and WAN has static configuration (LAN is eth1 and WAN is eth0):

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth1 inet static
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        address 192.168.10.1

iface eth0 inet static
        gateway 192.168.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        address 192.168.0.7

Yes that I found too. But despite interfaces file retain gateway IP address it is not active - no internet connection and Web administration interface shows zoeroes in web gateway address fields.
