A bug, eventually ?
The latest episode in this saga... I rebuilt the kernel with 8139too as a module, and now it is there where it should be, and it has an address under its IRQ listing. But it still won't connect. When I run modconf and try to remove it, I get an error message to the effect that the module is presently in use, and I can't access it. Who knows what to think now? I have reinstalled Woody about ten times now in one week, so I guess one more time won't make a big difference, so what do you think about me trying this: instead of just creating a new kernel, how about if, after I get my Woody setup running right, I change my apt-get settings to "testing", and more or less upgrade the whole system. My idea is that if I do this using my present working connection, it will somehow be preserved (wishful thinking?). The other approach that I tried, was to try to start from the beginning with the "testing" (sarge) net install version. I can also establish a connection at the beginning of this install by manually selecting the 8139too module. But when it reaches the point of recognizing the USB, it crashes. Is Debian always this hard to install?
