I haven't looked closely at the code, but I suspect this isn't really a 
mkinitrd bug.  Rather it is the way that we use mkinitrd, which is 
rather simplistic and assumes that you have a single network card on a 
thin client.  It *could* work if you have multiple cards, but you are at 
the mercy of the whims of your own hardware which device gets named eth0.

I wouldn't bother filing a bug unless you can think of some ingenious 
solution that both simple and automatic, that would probably involve 
code changes in mkinitrd's nash library.
