The etch installer, if not invoked in expert mode and not finding a
DHCP server, would install lo only, and no Ethernet networking. I don't
know if the current installers do this, as I have had a DHCP server for
quite a while now.
It wasn't a bug: I reported it as a bug and was rather tersely informed
that it was a feature.
