Bug#141166: boot-floppies: Network configuration should not use "auto" for PCMCIA network cards
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-04
Severity: normal
PCMCIA network configuration during installation has moved from the
network.opts file to the /etc/network/interfaces file, which is good.
However, the current installation procedure places something similar
to the following in this file:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
The "auto eth0" should be omitted since it causes the normal boot
procedure to try to configure the PCMCIA ethernet connection, which is
not available at that time. This will be done later by cardmgr, which
will run "ifup eth0" when a network card has been detected and powered
up.
Please remove the "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces.
