Hi, just to get this into the archives...
problem : NIC is not detected with woody 3.0r1's bf24 default kernel, had to recompile kernel to get the 8139too.o module to modprobe using hotplug (and not cardmgr). solution : in fact, kernel HAS TO be recompiled, default kernel has the 8139too driver compiled into the kernel, thus no possibility to modprobe it after having initialised PCMCIA. I don't understand why this was done, it actually prevented me from network installing woody as my NIC would never have been detected ! Joel
