[Bug 1046029] Re: Network device not configured correctly

[Colin Watson]

Thanks.  My guess is that this is a race between netcfg and the
biosdevname udev rules.

** Package changed: debian-installer (Ubuntu) => netcfg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Network device not configured correctly

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is not 100% reproducible. Sometimes the server comes up this way and other
  times it comes up just as you'd expect with em2 properly configured and up.

  This is a Quantal install on a Intel server.

  Upon initial bootup of a server after provisioning via orchestra
  server I have no network device configured. My /etc/network/interfaces
  file looks like:

  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  auto rename3
  iface rename3 inet dhcp

  This server has em1, em2, em3 and em4:
