A patch from the authors/maintainers of netcfg for this would be welcome. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Moreover, is it possible to disclose, whatever port/address the installer probes/scans? Please define port/address? This request was for the debian-installer in general. Basically, some network administrators would like to know about how a software is poking the network: Eg: - The DHCP would run at port 67 and 68 (UDP)? - How many times would the debian-installer send a broadcast message? How would be the retry period? - Will the debian-installer scan/probe certain ports like http and ftp? -- Rahmat M.

Bug#300837: Wishlist: Disclose MAC Address and What is Probed?
Package: installation-reports Severity: wishlist A couple of times, I have been told by some users that they are required to inform/register their MAC addresses before using DHCP. Is it possible in the future, that the installer displays the MAC address of the network card (and WiFi)? Moreover, is it possible to disclose, whatever port/address the installer probes/scans? -- Rahmat M.
