Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-config

When Ubuntu is installed/reinstalled, network-config should intuit network config details and pre-populate
 /etc/network/interfaces with "best guess" connection settings.

It is not reasonable to have an OS come up in todays networked environment with a non functioning network card when defaults could provide functionality.

We will never be able to address bug #1 if we are going to frustrate a potential convert right out of the box.
