In Italy most DSL use ppp over atm, common bundle usb modems are supported by many debian/unstable packages moslty pppd version >= 2.4.2 with pppoatm.so plugin and the right kernel module. The bad thing is that every single modem requires, other than a compile match with the installer kernel, an external closed firmware, that I think cannot be included in d-i but it can be downloaded by the user in some way after the link is up! I can collect some URLs of these firmwares, but I dont know right now what are missing from current d-i in order to use ppp with the right plugin (moslty because I have swithced to another provider that provides closed external DSL router). Then the d-i could print the URL pointing to the firmware that should be made available in some way during the net-discovering. > Without this package on the sarge netinst iso (looked at testcandidate > 1) it is not possible to get connected to the internet, which would make > the netinst iso useless for such users. Same here, but it seems a bit more complex. -- Marco Amadori <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
