Does anyone know/remember, why the problem cannot be fixed properly,
i.e. make live-initramfs try all interfaces and use the first one
where a DHCP reply is obtained?

This used to be possible with fai-kernels under etch, so why is it not
possible with live-initramfs?

I imagine someone could even create a patched live-initramfs package
which could be used together with fai in lieu of the lenny default
one?
