--- Begin Message ---Package: installation-reports Severity: wishlist A couple of times, I have been told by some users that they are required to inform/register their MAC addresses before using DHCP. Is it possible in the future, that the installer displays the MAC address of the network card (and WiFi)? Moreover, is it possible to disclose, whatever port/address the installer probes/scans? -- Rahmat M.

--- Begin Message ---I've read through this bug several times now, and I can't work out a single issue which we can solve -- but every issue mentioned is either a dupe of another bug, or is very, very severely wontfix. I've found the following issues mentioned: * A list of every possible packet that d-i could emit: Never going to happen. There are too many possibilities, many beyond the ability of us mere programmers to predict (if the user decides to retry network configuration, more DHCP packets will be emitted, to list just one example). If you really need this in your environment, find another network. * Display MAC address(es): #411367. * Indicate which NIC(s) have link: #248061. If you have comments about any of the above issues, please take it to the relevant bug. If you want a wontfix bug in perpetuity to document the request, reopen this one. If you think there's another issue in here I haven't noticed, please file a new bug. This one wants to stay sleeping. - Matt
