Not me. And I think there was never such bug as asking for MAC details from the User. In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=295888 is an user request asking _showing_ MAC address. Quoting the BR: | Primary network interface: | eth0: BROADCOM Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet | eth1: BROADCOM Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet | | The user has no chance to select the right network interface. | At least the MAC address should be displayed. The installation would continue without tricks just by picking an I/F. > I am in midst of making a presentation hence need that historical > information for accuracy.
