It would probably also be a good idea to share the "Wired connection 1"
config file.
I'm only guessing here, but I assume Yannick wants the connection
profile to be bound to a certain interface. Connection profiles can
apply to multiple  interfaces given the conditions in the connection
profile are met.

If you want to bind a connection profile to a certain hardware
interface, you can e.g. use mac-address=.
For a wifi interface, this would be:

[wifi]
mac-address=00:23:5a:47:1f:71

for an ethernet connection:

[802-3-ethernet]
mac-address=00:23:5a:47:1f:71


See nm-settings-keyfile and nm-settings.

I'm undecided whether setting mac-address= by default is a good idea or not.

netcfg looks like a good candidate indeed.

Yannick, it'd be great to see the installer's syslog, that should have
been stored under /var/log/installer.

(Please compress it.)

Control: reassign -1 netcfg

If netcfg is the component responsible for creating that file, yes.
I'm not sure though, which is why I suggested to contact the
debian-b...@lists.debian.org first.

You don't need to file or recreate the bug report btw, we can just
re-assign it.

Thinking about it, I'll just do this now and let the debian-installer
maintainers re-assign as needed.

If there is input needed from the NetworkManager side, please don't
hesitate to CC on replies.

Regards,
Michael

I assume this file is created by the debian installer, so you should
probably talk to them. See

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=debian-boot%40lists.debian.org

I would guess that the netcfg part is the most likely package.
