Network is only available in recovery mode

I am using Ubuntu 12.04, unity. If I boot regularly, there is no internet access. There is no network icon in the unity panel nor does the "network connections" program show anything. However, if I boot into recovery mode and select "enable networking," everything works as usual.

As far as I know, I have not messed with my network configurations for several months prior to this problem.

Okay. So, I checked the /etc/network/interfaces file and apparently, all the newline characters had been replaced with the letter "n". Changing them back to newline characters solved the problem for me.
