You should use the report form that is on the installer page to report
this. I had same problem and thought they had fixed it in the most
recent version. I think it has an "auto" for eth0 which it cannot find
and then bails permanently of setting up the networking even though
it finds the card later.
I find the auto hardware detect is nice, but has rough edges and if a
modprobe fails, it tends to lock the installer in my experience.
