The related Ubuntu bug has a patch as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/56679 (Matt already mentioned he doesn't like that patch, so it's not a permantent solution. But if you are just looking for a quick fix for now, you can use it in your own build). -- Yours sincerely, Floris Bos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
