Package: netcfg Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i When installing on an Openpeak Joggler, the wired ethernet interface doesn't work because the manufacturer programmed an invalid (and constant) MAC address into each device. It would be very nice if netcfg could detect this (possibly by the error you get when trying to bring up the interface) and offer to assign a new address (probably generated at random?), and then configured the installed system to set the same MAC address at if-pre-up time.
