Improve friendly recovery

2011-11-04 10:00..10:45 in Bonaire 1

A bit of work has been done late in the Oneiric cycle to improve friendly recovery to work better.


Now with the LTS coming up, it's time to fix some of the bigger issues for good and make sure the recovery mode will be useful and working for everyone.


Things to discuss include:
- Dealing with udev so important devices are initialized in recovery mode
- Properly initialize the network, either by using ifupdown or Network Manager
- Update the plugins to work properly when network isn't available and give a clue to the user that they need to enable network
