Comments/Problems:
Installer boots correctly. It detects the builtin NIC and loads the
right module for it (b44). However anna dies after choosing the mirror
with the error message:
anna: wget: ftp.us.debian.org: Host name lookup failure
It seems that the network is not configured 100%...because even when
using the ip address, this fails with the error "No route to host".
However, when I run `route -n` in vc2, it prints the correct info:
~ # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I have also double-check the interface, and it is properly configured:
~ # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:56:35:B7:17

Additionally, this machine also has Windows XP installed on it and the
network functions properly in that OS... :(
Anyone seen this before or have any clue what the problem could be??
