Bug#353983: eth* network interfaces change after install
Package: debian-installer
Version: 21-Feb-2006
Hardware: Fujitsu P7120 Lifebook
This model has an ieee1394 connector, so we autoload the eth1394 module
during the first boot, and this is loaded before the 8139too module
that drives the built-in ethernet connector. So eth1394 gets eth0 and
8139too gets eth1.
After rebooting, the modules are loaded in the opposite order, so 8139too
gets eth0 and eth1394 gets eth1. This means the configured networking
doesn't work automatically. You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces
to make it work.
