Bug#724928: debian-installer: eth0 configured wrong
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I recently installed Debian testing from the netinstall ISO using
internet via eth0.
The debian installer created the file /etc/network/interfaces with the
following content:
---
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
---
The last two lines caused me some problems, because I couldn't connect
to the internet via eth0, although the cable was plugged in. (This
worked during installation!)
The Gnome indicator for network connections sayed (in german):
'Kabelgebunden nicht verwaltet' (i.e. 'cable not managed')
After removing the lines in question from /e/n/i and a reboot, the
network is working properly.
I think these two lines should not be created during installation.
Thanks,
Andreas
