Public bug reported: I just installed Ubuntu server 7.10 tribe5, and used the integrated skge ethernet controller (second on the list in debian-installer) to do the network part of the install.
After the post-install reboot, my /etc/network/interfaces had a auto/dhcp setup for eth0 (pci realtek card), while the kernel had detected the integrated skge as eth1. These are the available controllers: 02:09.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) 02:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) This is what the kernel says at boot: [ 20.054945] eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf88a6c00, 00:17:9a:39:0c:bc, IRQ 20 [ 20.054947] eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' [ 20.055151] skge eth1: addr 00:17:31:7a:70:93 Shouldn't the installer have setup the same card I used to install the system? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- After initial reboot, wrong ethernet card is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
