Ok, mmm, you mean the pcnet32 driver is not in the debian-installer net drivers ? It is in the nic-extra-modules, which is not part of the initrd, we will fix this, either move it to nic-modules or add the nic-extra-modules to the initrd. Thanks for testing. Could you try again tomorrow or later ? Friendly, Sven Luther
