The issues above are easily reproducible at the moment. It's a show-
stopper for CIFS netboot deployments. The needed fix is quite simple and
a proposed fix can already be found in this thread. Please look into
this.
Thanks!
P.S.: Could this bug be edited so that the confirmed newer affected
versions are added to it? The devs won't notice it if it only affects
casper.

Title:
No network when PXE booting Live Ubuntu with CIFS
Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
the initrd.lz\initrd\scripts\casper script has a bug
function
do_netmount() {
...
if [ "${NETBOOT}" != "nfs" ] && do_cifsmount ; then
rc=0
elif do_nfsmount ; then
NETBOOT="nfs"
export NETBOOT
rc=0
fi
...
should be changed to
...
if [ "${NETBOOT}" != "nfs" ] && do_cifsmount ; then
export NETBOOT ##<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
rc=0
elif do_nfsmount ; then
NETBOOT="nfs"
export NETBOOT
rc=0
fi
...
If we use netboot=cifs the variable NETBOOT is not exported and that impacts
initrd.lz\initrd\scripts\casper-bottom\23networking
that ends up recreating with delay and errors /etc/network/interfaces.
Next when Ubuntu boots Internet/Networking is not available.
