[Bug 1204464] Re: no network interfaces detected

[Lars Noodén]

Even if the packages during the initial installation come from the
CD/DVD/USB drive, it is important that the net work on the first try.
If nothing else, it shows that the installation will not be for nothing
and that there will be functioning network upon completion.  Without
that initial confirmation, there's no guarantee that the net will work
at all and rather than sink further time into trying that image another
image or even another distro can be tried.

Title:
  no network interfaces detected

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the step "Configure the network", the following error message
  pops up:

          No network interfaces detected

  	No network interfaces were found.  The installation system
  	was unable to find a network devices

  	You may need to load a specific module for your network card,
  	if you have one.  For this, go back to the network hardware
  	detection step.

  This error occurs in spite of both a wireless interface and an
  ethernet interface being present in the machine.  The expected
  behavior is that the installer would detect both interfaces and ask
  which one to use, then use it.

  It is on the 20130723.1 Alternate amd64+mac image.
