Re: [Clonezilla-live] suggestion for livecd

[Les M. <les...@gm...>]

I only had a chance to test on one machine, but it wan't quite right. 
Eth1 was the interface with link, but the new code showed eth2 and eth3 
instead.  Mii-tool on another vt shows eth0 down, eth1 up and some kind 
of error on 2 and 3 so perhaps this wasn't a normal situation.
