Public bug reported:

I really don't know to what package this bug should be addressed. Instead of 
network-manager it might also be:
netbase
ifupdown

I installed intrepid with preseed and pxelinux from

d-i mirror/http/hostname string ftp.sunet.se
d-i mirror/http/directory string /pub/os/Linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu

today ( 22 october 2008 ).

Booting up the machine after the installation I notice that eth0 doesn't
get configured:

<snip>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/networking start
 * Configuring network interfaces...                                            
                                                                             
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
</snip>

But after I edit

<snip>

 /etc/init.d/networking start

now works ( i.e. eth0 gets an IP address and I can surf the internet )


Here is my pxelinux config
<snip>
label install
  kernel /ubuntu-8.10.linux.i386
  append initrd=/ubuntu-8.10.initrd.i386.gz auto

console-setup/layoutcode=se localechooser/continentlist=Europe  
localechooser/continentlist/Europe=SE netcfg/get_hostname=  
netcfg/choose_interface=eth0    --
</snip>

I attach the preseed configuration file.
cheers,
