At stage 1 (I think) during a network install via boot.iso, or rather boot- nonfree.iso (it's the one I tested), I must choose a network device because I have an ethernet port + wifi. The screen is not easy to understand if you're not familiar with module names, because the only additional information it gives is: (unknown), instead of device name. Attached are output of lspcidrake -v and a picture of the screen. -- tv said about it: "It might have been broken by the switch to Predictable Network Interface Names: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/" Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Is this still valid?

For some reason, we fail to retrieve the adapter description. That was OK in mga3 but is broken since mga4. Comparing both shows that: - in mga3, we were manually loading the driver and thus we know which driver corresponded to the newly created intf. - since mga4, the driver already has been loaded by udev and thus we fail to associate the intf with the right driver and thus we failed to get the driver description. The solution is to do what I did in stage2 13 years ago, using the ethtool IOCTL: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/c/stuff.xs.pl#n430 http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/commit/perl-install/c/stuff.xs.pl?id=58776de07de819cb962aa35e76c8379d96f03e6b

Since mga4, the driver has already been loaded by udev and thus we fail to associate the intf with the right driver and thus we failed to get the driver description. => let's use the ethtool IOCTL like the stage2 does --- Commit Link: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/commit/?id=dca3a0bf7c1b807b8a568c436b0225f7c1c2762c
