Bug Description

Binary package hint: netcfg

Attempting a clean installation of Jaunty Beta, all works fine until the installer attempts to setup DHCP with the onboard Ethernet connection. The setup then times out and informs me that DHCP has failed. I am then invited to either setup the network manually or continue without.

This is a regression because DHCP has managed to configure the network before using the alternate install in Intrepid on this system. DHCP did work within Virtualbox on the same system.

What should have happened:

DHCP should have configured the network automatically.

What happened instead:

DHCP timeout and failed.

I am using the onboard Ethernet connection via the Marvell 88E1116 PHY Gigabit LAN controller on my ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard.

Finally managed to get the debug logs from the install onto a USB stick so I can upload them. It's saved in a gzipped archive.
