Comments/Problems:
This PC had two Ethernet devices, and one was connected to another machine
running a DHCP server. netcfg showed:
eth0: Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
eth1: Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
I selected eth1, but got an error. Unfortunately, it did not tell me at
all what was wrong! After a bit I found out that it called /sbin/pump
which failed with "error while loading shared libraries: libpopt.so.9:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I see pump is
being removed (#221227). I guess in netcfg-common.c, udhcpc should also be
preferred to pump, i.e. those lines swaped:
else if (stat("/sbin/pump", &stat_buf) == 0)
dhcp_client = PUMP;
and:
else if (stat("/sbin/udhcpc", &stat_buf) == 0)
dhcp_client = UDHCPC;
Still, netcfg should show why the DHCP client failed. Also, since pump is
broken, it should definitely not be installed for beta2!
Also, the "eth1: Ethernet or Fast Ethernet" menu is nice, but damn if I
know what eth0 and eth1 are... it would be cool to show the name of the
device, perhaps that shown by lspci:
eth0: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102
eth1: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX
Since DHCP didn't work in the beginning (I later simply removed /sbin/pump
so it would use /sbin/udhcpc instead), I configured a static address. I
put in my info and was asked "Is this information correct?". I said "no",
and did the whole thing again. It rememberd the IP address I typed in
before, but it reset my gateway from 10.0.0.140 to 10.0.0.1.
Also, a /etc/network/interfaces entry is generated which looks like this:
iface eth1 inet static
address ...
netmask ...
Please format/intend this more nicely:
iface eth1 inet static
address ...
netmask ...
After boot, eth0 and eth1 suddenly changed! I told debian-installer to use
eth1 (the 3Com) for DHCP, but after reboot the 3Com was suddenly eth0!
Also, when base-config asked me to type a root password, I accidentally had
CAPS LOCK on. Perhaps you should recognize this and warn the user.
