Package: netcfg Version: 0.71 Severity: normal When several ethernet devices are available, the name of the device is not a reliable way to identify it. For example, when booting d-i on my laptop, the firewire port was detected as eth0 and the 100baseT one was detected as eth1. At the time of reboot, hotplug identified eth0 as the 100baseT and eth1 as the firewire, and the network stopped working.
This could be solved by identifying adapters by their MAC address; ifupdown allows that using external scripts, but it isn't a builtin function. There may be other solutions, but that's the only idea I can think of. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.6-1-386 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
