[Bug 1771823] Re: Please include ax88179_178a and r8152 modules in d-i udeb

[Brad Figg]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-
bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Bug description:
  
  == SRU Justification ==
  The r8152 module is used in a thunderbolt-connected docking station and
  ax88179_178a by an external USB dongle.

  Despite having two nics connected the bug reporter can't install
  Bionic.

  This SRU request is to add the modules to the debian installer.

  == Fix ==
  UBUNTU: [Config:] d-i: Add ax88179_178a and r8152 to nic-modules

  == Regression Potential ==
  Low.  This is adding a module to the installer.

  == Test Case ==
  A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
  The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.

  Despite having two nics connected i can't install Bionic. :-)

  This is probably a subset of the modules to be included when fixing
  LP: #1503218.
