Bug#59230: boot-floppies: Installer incorrectly configured PCMCIA network card
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
Severity: important
During the installation, I configured my the system to use my PCMCIA network
card and use BOOTP/DHCP to get the IP address, gateway, name servers, and so
forth. However, the installer filled in generic defaults for the IP address,
netmask, and other values in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. So when i booted the
system for the first time, it first used DHCP and then set these generic
values, so my networking didn't work and I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
by hand. When pump is being used, the IPADDR, NETMASK, NETWORK, BROADCAST,
GATEWAY, and DNS_1 values should be blank.
