They probably need "non-free" drivers, which goes against how Debian does things. I ran into this with an intel WLAN card. Just had the driver *deb on a USB key that I installed once the system was running. > If I install it in a Virtualbox machine (with a phisical disk mapped) > and then I boot with that disk, the network cards work perfectly. vbox emulates some rather "old" network cards (e.g. the intel single-port gbit NICs that have been around since 2000 or so). As I recall, those cards have been in the kernel since the early 3.x releases (if not 2.x), so Debian doesn't run into any "non-free" kernel module issues. -- Registered Linux user #585947 Github: https://github.com/dpurgert
