Curt's reference to a firmware loading bug in the present d-i is as opportune a time as any to look at what is recommended above. It seems firmware loading isn't as reliable as I thought it was on Wheezy, There is an alternative technique which is worth trying if a user gets stuck at this stage of the installation. The installer looks on /media for firmware files. So mount the partition containing them on /media. Switch to tty2 with ALT-F2 and mount /dev/<partition_with_firmware_files> /media before doing 'Detect network hardware'. The partition which holds the files can be formatted FAT16 or FAT32. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
