Bug#514916: Slightly better way.

[Robin Lee Powell]

I'm now working on etch FAI, and ran into a totally different set of
bugs.

As a side effect, I've come up with a more general (in the sense of
working with the older stuff), faster way of dealing with the
multiple ethernet thing.  It stops when any one NIC is done.
