The first thing I would try is one of Kenshi Muto's customized debian installer images with backported newer kernels and therefore better support for newer hardware: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ (I have not checked anything for your particular NIC, therefore I cannot say how likely it is that the d-i with the newer kernel will work.) -- Regards, | Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
