I have a Sony PCG-GR114MK-Notebook. It has an Intel Network card and it

The e100-driver is only in the nonfree-part of debian and there only as a
source.
The card will probably work with the eepro driver (or eepro100). Afaik
all intel compatible cards work with that driver.
I would like to install debian on my laptop over network/dsl-connection.
Is there a possibility to load the e100-driver from the installer?
How can I install debian over network??
In the modules configuration select the eepro module and load it...
It does not.
It seems that there are some Intel-cards that do not work with the
eepro/eepro100-driver.
If it helps, here is what lspci says about this card:
02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 1031 (rev 41)
Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 80e7
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 9
Memory at d0204000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
I/O ports at 4000 [size=64]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
Many of the newer mini-pci intel cards are supported by the e100 driver.
The earlier eepro or eepro100 will not work. One other method would
be to use a pcmcia card other than the e100 card (is that one
integrated?), do the network installation, download the e100 sources,
and switch things around a bit. I have a Dell Latitude Ls with an
integrated 3com vortex card and I often slip in a 3com pcmcia card or a
orinoco gold card instead. I have had very good luck with a variety of
cheap ethernet cards as well as the non-cheap 3com's. One that has
worked flawlessly is the linksys dual ethernet/modem combo card. It
does not require the curse of the digital age -- the dongle :)
Would this method work for you?
