windows leaves the built-in eepro100 in a quite wonky state. by default, you can't use the eepro100 after a softboot after windows. there is a tool at donald beckers site to reset the chip (pcisomehting). > I need to do a network installation.

That's where my machine get's stuck. i never managed to do a network install after loadlin on my Z505 (same HW, but US version). i just copied the base system over to the windows partition, installed from there, and after a hard reboot the eepro100 worked fine.
