[Bug 1008707] Re: Ubiquity fails to detect active internet connection

[Vector]

I've seen this as well.  However, it's when installing linux MCE which
uses the Ubiquity installer.   Everyone just seems to recognize it as a
bug and move on.  Unfortunately in the linux MCE installer there is no
option disable and then re-enable networking as far as I can tell.  I've
seen it when doing the i386 installation and I've reproduced it with
real hardware and using VMware.  It looks like this expired but was it
ever resolved?
