Alexander, I thought I did that already in my first message to this bug
report: the D-Link card (r8169 driver, MAC 00:17:9a:3a:c9:52) is the
right one, the VIA card is the wrong one (and has no cable attached).
That's also what I tell the installer, of course.
Wrt point 3) I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that the default
interface chosen in the installer will also be the default interface in
the installed system. So probably the installer should write persistent-
net.rules, not udev at the first boot.

OK, lets use this bug for 1. then. 3. is an installer issue and network-
manager has no chance to know which one to use.
Lars, your syslog log gets an IP through you via card, which definitly
doesn't capture the bug interface selected though no cable attached
... can you get a syslog for that
There was some discussion about this on IRC, and as a result I was
directed to look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, which I
attach. Two things:
1) It names the interfaces eth2 and eth3, instead of eth0 and eth1,
which is going to surprise a number of people.
2) If I switch the
Lars, did you already defined what the right interface is?
Anyway, I see 3 issues here (please correct me or add more):
1. network-manager does select an interface without a signal
2. network-manager appears to connect to random interfaces, which could or
could not be caused by 1.
3.
I have the same problem. In my case, the installer offered the extra
D-Link card as the second option in its list (don't know if the ordering
is relevant), and the installed system wanted to use the VIA card
integrated onto the motherboard. The VIA card doesn' t have a cable
attached, since it

Looks like NM is picking the wrong card on boot. Please read
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager and attach appropriate
logs.

I followed the instructions on that page, and the syslog snippet is
attached. I am not sure this is directly useful: after I manually chose
the D-Link card, it seems to be chosen every time, even after a reboot.
(Might be a timing problem, or udev randomness, rather than NM
remembering the manual
I rebooted a few more times, to get more statistics, and NetworkManager
does not always choose the same device: sometimes it chooses one,
sometimes the other Ethernet card.

Lars, I don't understand the problem here. Given that NetworkManager is
independent of ifupdown, how should NM know which interface you
initially want to be upped?

Wearing a ignorant user hat: the installer asks me which interface
should be used, but the installed system ignores that. I have to choose
the right card from the NetworkManager every time, and that's pretty
annoying. If NetworkManager in the installed system can't make use of
