Well, that's the hardware my company gave me to work with. I don't have
much choice. :) I appreciate the warning, though.
No, modprobing it didn't seem to change anything in the installer. It
seemed to be oblivious of the network support I had enabled manually.
ifconfig doesn't recognize eth0 as a valid interface.
This is potato ("stable"), I believe. The general plan is to load potato in
and then upgrade packages to woody ("testing") as needed. That worked out
well with my desktop machine.

A bit of warning: I have had nothing but trouble with those cards. I
have tried two and both have given me troubles. Lots of errors and
timeouts and the like. One eventually became completely useless, and I
may just chalk that one up as a defective item. But the second one
(actually a D-Link DFE-680TXD, but it has the same chipset) is also
giving me problems. Good luck.

Once you modprobe in the module, does the network setup option show up
in the configuration list?
Is this potato or woody?
