Ethernet card not found
No ethernet card was found on the system tlan, eepro100, eepro100, cpqarray, ... (on the Compaq)
No ethernet card was found on the system tg3, ... (on the Dell)
It recognise the NICs but it doesn't have any of the modules available on the CD...
I did have the same problem trying to install it on my notebook (with both, the keyboard and the NIC).
With the NICs I got the same problem with release 20050323 & 20050409.
The last release I try and that worked perfectly was 20050318!
Cheers,
Carlo
