Package: netcfg Version: 1.51 Severity: wishlist I've just sat through many installs on ThinkPad T41, T43 vintage laptops, using PXE, wired Ethernet, and a preseeded installation.
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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
