[Bug 1616400] Re: Lubuntu's alternate i386 installer cannot connect to a network

[sudodus]

The network bug is partially squashed in the new beta 1 iso file dated
20160825.

The network is available duing boot, but the installed system does not
connect automatically via ethernet as it should.

With the previous iso file, I could not connect at all, now I can
connect via wifi, so there is an improvement.

I don't know if this is another aspect of the bug 1616400, that the
installer did not create a good installed system, or if it is a new bug,
and in that case where to report it. (Wired network is greyed out in nm-
applet.)

Title:
  Lubuntu's alternate i386 installer cannot connect to a network

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running Lubuntu's Yakkety alternate i386 beta1 installer fails.

  I arrive at a red screen with the text: "No network interfaces were
  found ..."

  This is in a Toshiba laptop, that I have used for testing since 2013,
  and it works with the corresponding current Lubuntu desktop iso files.
  I expect the wired ethernet to work with the alternate iso file like
  it worked, when I tested with Yakkety alternate i386 alpha 2.

  ctrl + alt + F4 shows the following log text:

  -----

  It works to continue the installation without network. The installed
  system boots, but the installed system fails to connect to the
  internet. I have not tried to fix it, just noticed that ethernet does
  not work 'out of the box' as it should in the installed system.
