Title:
  in intramfs dropbear starts before NIC is ready

Status in “dropbear” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dropbear

  Initramfs integration doesn't work because dropbear tries to configure
  the network before the NIC is ready.

  On my Inspiron 1420 running the latest Jaunty I installed dropbear and
  rebooted with ip=:::::eth0:dhcp on the kernel cmdline. After "Begin:
  Starting dropbear ..." appears, ipconfig complains that eth0 doesn't
  exist. A few lines later, messages about tg3 and eth0 appear.
