Comment 9 for bug 760887

Had the same problem on a Dell 2650 Server and a Dell workstations both with a Broadcom ethernet chip.
Very annoying, works with 10.04 but not 11.04. I manually added the IP several times to keep the install
going I do not understand the fix mentioned by Sandor. Below are the 2 network cards and the install
syslog messages. After the install things seem to work fine.
