Bug#125683: boot-floppies: pcmcia/eth0 network not restarted after initial reboot
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-18
Severity: normal
This is related to, but different from bug #123974.
I have a laptop which I use for testing. I recently built some i386
woody install CDs (via a partial mirror) containing boot-disks 3.0.17.
During the base system install the pcmcia network is detected and the
network brought up via dhcp.
After the initial reboot, the network does not come up.
It can be brought (after creating a root account) by issuing the
dhclient command, however /etc/network/interfaces contains no eth0
line, so this will just be a temporary fix.
The "fix" seems to be to update /etc/network/interfaces to contain the
lines
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
at the initial base install
