Bug#862521: further investigation

2017-05-14 Thread Martin Maney
Correction: the Realtek NIC doesn't, in fact, require that firmware. System works the same (aside from the boot message abouit not finding the firmware file) without it, devices renamed the same... And I booted into d-i far enough to see that, yep, it sees the new name when it sets up the NIC.

On two different desktop machines, neither of which had any challenging components(1), it just worked nicely(2). Granted, I haven't gone any further with either of them than the post-reboot minimal add-ons and updates in aptitude... The other machine I tried was a Dell Inspiron 8000 that already

This evening I thought I'd try the latest boot-floppies (3.0.21, the standard 6-diskette set) on a reinstall on the aged Compaq LTE 5150. It was to be a network install aside from the boot floppies, and the machine has a Xircom CE3 ethernet card. All of this was already setup and working, runni
