As the debian-installer CD doesn't seem to have lspci on it I can't provide this (its a brand new machine that has never run Linux before). > AFAIK the d-i policy is to be based on herbert's official kernel-image. > So a d-i patched kernel is not an option.

Support for this hardware (and other motherboards with similar hardware) appears to have been put into 2.4.25-pre6 (see http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.4/25-pre6/drivers/pci/pci.ids). So unless either the debian-installer CD moves to 2.4.25-pre6/2.4.25 soon or else kernel patches are applied to whatever kernel the debian-installer uses then there's no way to get this ethernet going (and therefore no way for me to get this machine usable). Although I'm a long time Debian user (since 1993) and an ex-Debian developer unless I can get something going shortly I may have to consider another distribution for this PC :-( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
