* Specifying a Client Network Interface
35
At boot time the network interface to use will by default be
36
automatically detected. If should result in an incorrect interface,
37
edit the DEVICE setting in the "/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf"
38
file. (The default setting is empty, meaning to autodetect the
39
interface.) *If* the DEVICE setting is changed, it will be
40
necessary to update the initrd image by running the command

Note that since this network interface is used in the initial RAM
51
disk environment, the network interface *must* exist at that stage.
52
Thus, the interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
53
"tun0"; instead, only real interface (such as "eth0") can be used.

This can be overcome by writing a "network hook" program to create
55
the interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and placing it in
