[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 - 1.51ubuntu3

---------------
netcfg (1.51ubuntu3) lucid-proposed; 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->?
