I did a D-I install on the qdf 2400 server with zesty + the patchset, using the Mellanox adapter (Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4]). The qcom_emac driver is installed but the port (eth0) does not get an IP address without running dhclient -v. An IP address is assigned but not seen with the ifconfig command. I am able to ssh into that system using the assigned IP address, that I can only see from the output of the dhclient command.

But the upstream driver has since been renamed to qcom_emac. This module is needed in d-i's initrd so that these nics can be used to d-i install the system. The driver already exists in the zesty kernel under drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/ Revert commit 14893d91c9c391f8a4c2668b96ffe60aa728ad23 and add qcom_emac to initrd, and change the module name to qcom_emac. [Test Case] D-I install zesty on amberwing platform and notice that DI does not recognize the onboard two port nic. [Regression Potential] At present this driver applies only to amberwing systems, any regression will be isolated to amberwing platforms. The over all risk of regression is low.
