Hi folks,
yesterday I was install debian-20090729-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso in
VirtualBox Version 3.0.8 r53138 on Debian Lenny (IBM R51-laptop).
I have some problem with network configuration until a figured that in
/etc/network/interfaces is "ed0" and ifconfig give me "em0".
When i write "em0" in /etc/network/interfaces network became functional.

Is this bug or something else?

It is normal, that's the normal way to configure it (the name of the
interface depends on the card).

Using the d-i based installer, the interface used for the installation
is used in /etc/network/interfaces.
