[Bug 1040627] [NEW] DHCP autoconfiguration fails on servers since 20120822 image

[Brendan Donegan]

Public bug reported:

Since yesterday, any time I try to run a server install in our lab, the
DHCP autoconfiguration step fails. It's essential this works so that the
net install can be done. Since I don't have access to the system due to
the same failure, logs are not included with this bug. Some things I've
noticed though in /var/log/syslog:

WARNING **: ethtool-lite: couldn't determine MII ioctl to use for eth0

and

dhclient: Bind socket to interface: No such device

I can provide more info if needed, but getting full logs is going to be
difficult.

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Description changed:
