Comment 18 for bug 1572620

netcfg is embedded into the d-i, so I took current d-i from xenial updates and rebuilt it with sbuild to get the new netcfg from xenial-proposed.

upon reacing the select interfaces step, all interfaces now have human descriptions e.g. "Ethernet PCI" and "Ethernet CCW bus" instead of "Unknown device".

I checked using d-i shell that netcfg is at 1.135ubuntu4.2 as reported in /var/lib/dpkg/status file
