Bug#820230: initramfs-tools: DHCP is very flaky and sometimes doesn't work
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.123
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
DHCP network config in initramfs is very flaky on my system. I would say ~50%
of the time it doesn't work.
>From the perspective of My DHCP server it assigns the IP correctly.
DHCP works once the system has booted up in its normal environment.
I have two available NICs but only one is connected.
Thanks,
Rian
