[Bug 900750] Re: ethdetect fails trying to load firmware patch rt18168d-2.fw

[Patrick Wright]

** Description changed:

  I have been trying to netboot from the daily precise images.  I've
  noticed for build 2011-12-05 alternate i386 one of the test systems,
  (Dell Vostro 3400) fails the first time it tries to detect network
  hardware.
  
  I can select Continue, and proceed to the Ubuntu Archive selection to
  manually use my local image mirror.
  
+ This also happens when booting from usb.
+ 
  This is causing preseed installations to halt as well.
