From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020712 Description of problem: With a Dell Inspiron 4150 with builtin 3Com wired ethernet and builtin wavelan 802.11b wireless ethernet, I tried a "askmethod" installation when I booted from cdrom1. I picked NFS, and then it asked if I wanted to use DHCP or manually configure my IP. It never gave me a chance to select which network interface to use. Checking ALT-F4 I could see that eth0 was the wireless and eth1 was the wired (the detection order swaps during a regular boot, that is a different bug, 70760). I couldn't perform my network install as I needed it use the wired interface. I tried launching the install on a completely different non-laptop computer with two NICs, and in that case, it DID give me the chance to pick which interface to use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get hardware same as mine 2. Boot from cdrom, type "linux askmethod" 3. Watch how you have no choice what interface to use. Actual Results: Don't prompt for NIC to use. It tries to use eth0, the wireless NIC. Expected Results: Give me a choice of what interface to use.
