Package: pcmcia-udeb Version: 0.4 Tags: d-i Part of an install report from Noah L. Meyerhans <noahm@debian.org>: Hi all. Great work with debian-installer; it has progressed quite a bit since I last tested it a month or so ago. I've downloaded the October 5 netinst image from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/ and run through it a few times on my laptop. For the most part things went smoothly. ... The first problems relate mostly to mobile systems. I had to do a bit of work to get my PCMCIA network card to work. It was all possible without having to drop to the console on tty2, but it certainly wasn't right. Early in the installation, d-i reported that no network interfaces were available. To fix that, I chose the main menu option to start PCMCIA services. Following that, my interface was still not present. I selected the main-menu interface to probe network hardware and load the appropriate modules. Here, I selected the option for "other" module, which prompted me for a full path to a network card driver. I left this option blank, which resulted in errors (because modprobe isn't happy if you give it "" as a module to load!) This, however, worked, and my network interface came to life. From here, I was able to successfully configure it with DHCP. -- see shy jo
