Please don't make us guess. What _exactly_ is the response from ifconfig or
ifup, and what appears in syslog?

You need to be _very_ careful about doing dist-upgrades. I'm using kubuntu
breezy, and if I'd allowed a dist-upgrade yesterday I'd probably be in the
same position. While dist-upgrade tries to do the right thing, sometimes -
as apt sees it - the right thing would be to remove large parts of your
system. What apt sources are you using?
