Package: debian-installer
Version: daily-image powerpc netinst ISO 2010-0419
Severity: normal

During the installer check for an ethernet interface prior to
bringing up the network, it fails to find an ethernet interface.

lspci -v reports:

0002:20:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth 2 GMAC (Sun GEM) (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
  !!! Unknown header type 7f

This worked just fine for earlier Debian releases; maybe it's
just missing the appropriate kernel module?


Regards,
Roger

Just tested with the d-i daily netinst image, and it's OK now.
