I just had a look into /var/log/installer/syslog after the installation where I can find the following lines: Jan 16 16:43:10 netcfg[5970]: INFO: Starting netcfg v.1.103 (built 20121210-1746) Jan 16 16:43:10 netcfg[5970]: WARNING **: Couldn't read Wpasupplicant pid file, not trying to kill.

Jan 16 16:43:27 netcfg[5970]: DEBUG: Writing static IPv4 stanza for eth0 For me the line "No interface given; clearing /etc/network/interfaces" looks like the file could not be written correctly due to a missing interface name. That is why I added "d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0" to preseed.cfg but unfortunately there was not change with a new ISO image build with it. Is my assumption correct, should I open a bug report for netcfg with these information? In fact it's just the /etc/network/interfaces file which is missing information. It's not written by any debian-live specific script IMHO.
