Re: network hardware issues

| This morning I made a floppy using "make boot_floppy" in the build
| dir. Here are some issues.
| 
| 1. The new "execute a shell"  becomes default after "finish debian
| installer setup". Seems to me like it should never be default.

yup.  patches accepted. :)  (-1 as priority, perhaps?  and
special-casing that value in main-menu?)

| 2. Setup static network and setup dhcp network both come before
| "configure network hardware" but don't work until the hardware has
| been configured.

known issue -- patches accepted. :)

| 3. When setting up the network hardware, I get:
| 
| "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-1"
| 
| many times and
| 
| "intaller[404]: modprobe can't locate module rtl8139"
| 
| So maybe this module is just missing, or maybe lots of them are
| missing. I'll try another machine and let you know.

it's called 8139too under 2.4.   Look at #109763.
