Bug Description
Binary package hint: dropbear
Initramfs integration doesn't work because dropbear tries to configure the network before the NIC is ready.
On my Inspiron 1420 running the latest Jaunty I installed dropbear and rebooted with ip=:::::eth0:dhcp on the kernel cmdline. After "Begin: Starting dropbear ..." appears, ipconfig complains that eth0 doesn't exist. A few lines later, messages about tg3 and eth0 appear.
Exact same problem. Perhaps a prereq needs to be entered into the dropbear init-premount script to require networking?
