Comments/Problems: 

First, I booted the netinst CD from external USB2 cdrom drive. As the
broadcom gigabit ethernet chip is not supported without additional
modules, I used a D-Link ethernet PCMCIA card instead (driver 8139too). 
Using this card, the base install worked fine. Unfortunately, when
rebooting from harddisk, PCMCIA didn't work anymore, so I have no
network access and thus no means of downloading the broadcom driver:

sam:~# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start

Starting PcMCIA services: modulesinsmod: a module named pcmcia_core
already exists
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1-386/pcmcia/i82365.o:/lib/modules/2.4.22-1-386/pcmcia/i82365.o:: unresolved symbol isapnp_find_dev_R27cb2cad
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1-386/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not
permitted

Any ideas? Thanks.
