Bumping an old bug.
I've preseeded netcfg/choose_interface to auto, to try and avoid the
netcfg/choose_interface question being asked. What I suspect is the
problem, is the wireless interface is showing link so the question still
gets asked.
My thoughts on how to extend this functionality was:
allow preseeding the interface to use based on:
1) vendor component of the MAC
2) PCI ID
3) some substring of the interface description
because preseeding the specific interface by name is a non-starter, due to
the way Linux can't consistently enumerate the interfaces.
I think that at least selection of the network interface by MAC-address
instead of interface name should be possible.
There is currently a patch pending for Ubuntu:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/60443113/S31pxedust
(belonging to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/56679
)
Any chance of getting this into Debian as well?
