[Bug 56679] Re: provide a method to use a specified MAC-address as the installation device

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package netcfg - 1.63ubuntu1

---------------
netcfg (1.63ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Set default hostname to 'ubuntu'.
    - Drop priority of netcfg/get_domain to medium for non-static
      configurations.
    - Use 'auto <interface>' for all interfaces, dropping allow-hotplug
      which doesn't work with current udev.
    - Call /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ifblacklist_migrate.sh from
      finish-install if present, so that 'auto dhcp' interfaces are disabled
      if network-manager is in use. May be preseeded away with
      netcfg/network-manager.
    - Bump the DHCP timeout to 30 seconds.
    - Strip trailing dots from domain when writing to /etc/hosts.
    - Build for ppc64.
    - Move release-dhcp-lease finish-install script after unmounting
      filesystems, to avoid interfering with iSCSI.

netcfg (1.63) unstable; urgency=low

  * If BOOTIF= is set on the Linux command line, look for an interface with
    that address and use it by default (closes: #615600, LP: #56679).

Bug description:
  My Thinkpad T23 has e100 and orinoco -devices, and I need to netboot
  install from wired network, but the device-names are assigned randomly
  making it problematic.. Could udev make wired network devices always
  have a higher priority to populate eth0->?
