Netcfg NULL pointer dereference in custom debian-eeepc d-i
Hi,
I am try to build a custom d-i for debian-eeepc that has the atheros
wireless and ethernet modules included. Process used is from the
following wiki pages.
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/CustomInstaller
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel
The build appears to have gone well, and I can boot and start the
installer. When the installer gets to configuring the network, netcfg
oopses the kernel with a null pointer dereference. If I switch to vt2
before doing any tasks then I can bring up ath0, set an essid and wep
key and get a dhcp lease. I tried bringing up both cards before getting
to the configuring network stage but it still oopses with netcfg.
However, if the ethernet cable is plugged in during configuration, then
I can chose either ethernet or the wireless card and from there on all
seems to work fine. The oops is below but may have some errors as its
hand typed.
