Title:
  Installer looses eth0

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During installation of Ubuntu 14.04 Server amd64, the installer
  correctly configures eth0 (via static IP in my case) and retrieves the
  host name and domain name from the DNS server.  But it then loses
  connection with eth0 sometime shortly afterwards.  /var/log/syslog
  shows the following:

  May 27 21:26:24 kernel: [   38.244015] tg3 0000:01:00.0: vpd r/w
  failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on this device.  Contact the
  card vendor for a firmware update.

  The installation continues and completes, but hangs periodically
  whenever the installation process attempts to access the network.
  After rebooting the network devices work fine.  (Although it does mean
  that my pre-seeded post-install scripts fail to install my repository
  and custom packages, as that requires network access.)

  The hardware in question is a Dell R300 with dual Broadcom Corporation
  NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet.  Said hardware has been running
  Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, and 12.04 flawlessly for years.
