I preseed this in a file with d-i netcfg/target_network_config select ifupdown The same outcome should be possible with an installer boot parameter: netcfg/target_network_config=ifupdown should do it (I think). The wired network could be added after booting into the new system; unless you want to do it by preseeding a late_command. Regards, Brian.
