Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
the configure_networking function relies on DEVICE being set, and
conf/initramfs.conf hard-codes this to eth0. though some scripts may call this
from /scripts/local-top, and DEVICE may not be set. even when it is set, it
hard-coding it to eth0 may be the wrong network interface.
the following patch should partially address this by checking for DEVICE when
not defined, and using the first interface with an active link.
