I tried a network NFS install today.  The early providing of the network data
may have skewed the working of the network configuration from Summary.

Anyway, the network showed up as configured "lan" (no "not configured" tag), but
when I checked Configure and went through autodetect, the only device box
checked was the modem.

When I went through the configuration, the static info from the network-based
install had been propagated to the dialog, except that the hostname field (which
the dialog specifies must be filled in with the fully-qualified hostname) had
only the simple hostname.  This is probably because the network boot prompts
have you enter the host and domain names separately.

Today's cooker seems to be deciding that it needs the network before it's been
configured from the Network tab of the Summary page.  It assumes DHCP, and
installs dhcpcd-client, and then appears to hang.  The hang is because it is
timing out looking for a DHCP server, and there is none.  The hang eventually
times out, but when I actually get the Summary dialog and go to configure the
network, it tells me that the network was already configured and I can leave it
as is.

It doesn't seem to realize that it never managed to connect with DHCP, and it
shouldn't be trying it anyway.
