-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: debian-installer Version: netboot 2011-01-17 Severity: important
The installer correctly detects and installs the firmware, if it is provided by the firmware-realtek (0.28) package on a VFAT USB stick. But the kernel is unable to load the "rtl8168d-2.fw".
I manually moved the firmware from /lib/firmware/rtl_nic => /lib/firmware.
Now the kernel was able to load the firmware and I got an eth0 device, but the driver seems to be broken: DHCP fails and manual configuration doesn't work either.
Instead I get a "NETDEV WATCHDOG" error message for eth0 in dmesg (transmit queue 0 timed out) and a kernel backtrace for "dev_watchdog".
Debian Lenny and Ubuntu 10.04 install fine on the same notebook.
