Hello,

Same here with tc1. I get presented successively with the following templates:
1) choice of modules: I choose "none of the above"
2) do I have a driver floppy ? I answer "no"
3) an error template that informs me no hardware was found.
From there I go back to 1), the only way to break the deadlock is to press the ESC key. After pressing the ESC key, no error seems to be raised, and the installer goes on to netcfg (which complains).


I looked into the code, a while loop is used, which has no way to break out without a working interface, except if you have no drivers at all. I don't think this loop serves any essential purpose. ethdetect sould not try that hard to get an interface, because it is perfectly acceptable that the computer has no ethernet card (or an unsupported one). In my opinion, it should just warn, and go on. What happens next is netcfg's problem (see bug #243543 for my opinion on that matter).

See U,
Baptiste
