Comment 1 for bug 2012659

This feels like a tricky situation.

I have no doubt we can do something to make sure we don't crash when accessing a network adapter that has disappeared (provided we have the hardware to reproduce it, which I currently don't). A tarball of the logs (e.g., /var/log/installer + /var/crash + journal) would help BTW.

OTOH, if the network adapter gets disconnected and does not come back up before we start downloading packages from the archive, there's little we can do to prevent the install from failing. A manual retry option would be ideal, I guess, but it feels like substantial effort.
