I would've liked that in any case, to be honest. Because the second
netcfg invocation was truncated from the log originally pasted.
Also we never saw the full preseeding file on the list.

The question is: Why isn't the connection type detected as being "wired"?
By setting "ifupdown" you simply skip the logic that should ensure that
the right thing is being done. Unless n-m got installed.

Is it possible that a desktop system was installed here? With network-manager
being present in the final installation? If so, wasn't network-manager
configured (it should be)? It will place a file in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.

Obviously by preseeding ifupdown one has explicit configuration through
interfaces(5) in the target, hence n-m will ignore the device.

Kind regards
