[Bug 1202795] [NEW] Preseed install detects intel nic as something other than eth0

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've run into a problem when attempting to install ubuntu 13.04 using
the the preseed automated install.  What appears to be the problem is on
e3-1220 systems with the 82580 nic using the igb drive is detected as
p1p1 instead of eth0.  On a similar system with a intel I350 nic using
the same driver is seen as eth0.  With this name change it becomes
impossible to perform automatic installs.  The preseed install is being
initiated via pxe boot process.  During the install I see error messages
that reference the network not being configured.  If I skip that part of
the install and switch to the console, alt + F2, and execute dhclient
p1p1 I get a dhcp provided IP and the install will continue.  On the
working E5-2620 system with the i350 nic the install completes without
user intervention.
