This patch is in a VERY EARLY state. It inserts into /etc/dhclient-script so that the ip/mask/route etc form dhcp can be captured. This then needs to be put into the debconf database. this will allow development of static net config from a dhcp boot.
I did have some code that looked like this but this seemed not to insert the valuses into debconf db... # copy DHCP information into debconf database (wishlist #275360) . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule db_set netcfg/get_ipaddress "$new_ip_address" db_set netcfg/get_netmask "$new_mask" for router in $new_routers; do db_set netcfg/get_gateway "router" break done db_set netcfg/get_nameservers "$new_domain_name_servers" The patch writes debconf-set statements to a file which could later be sourced to set the values in debconf-db. I don't have the knowledge or time to more now so wanted to put this in BTS so others(or me later) can build on it!
