Alexander, You probaly should look at:
www.about*debian*.com/*network*.htm To the automatic network configuration works during installation you must have cable on (link on network-card) and your network card must be know to Linux (a.k.a properly modules loaded), may cards have support built-in a few ones you must get from third-party (manufactor) install or compile. You can look at /var/log/messages for notices about eth0 or other network device. Also, you must have a DHCP on network for automatic config work, sure. 2009/9/10 Alexander Kaphuk <sashaandta...@gmail.com> > G'day, > > I have installed Debian Lenny on a HP Comaq Presario CQ61 laptop.
