Comments/Problems:
The install would not recognize my Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 USB network
adapter and did not include any Atmel AT76C503A driver.
In addition, I have some suggestions for the usability of the installer's
menu system. Here were my experiences.
At the top of the "Detect network hardware" screen, it says, "If the
correct module is not listed, you may need to load additional modules
from a driver floppy. In that case, choose the option which indicates
that your module is not listed."
I chose "none of the above", at which point I get a warning dialog
that precipitates me to the "Debian installer main menu", which says
nothing about loading additional modules from a driver floppy.
*** This warning dialog should give pretty specific instructions about how to
load drivers from floppy (including kernel version?), but it doesn't. ***
The closest option is "Load installer components from CD".
(*** Note: this should probably say "... from CD or floppy. ***)
This produces a menu of interesting but (to me) irrelevant components.
I choose "Go back", and to my surprise, instead of going back to the
main menu, it goes to the "Load installer components from CD" menu
(which has not appeared before), which gives me the choice of cdrom-
or floppy-retriever. *** Maybe there should be two buttons, one saying
"Go back", and one saying, "Load from floppy instead" ***
I don't really know how to proceed with the install, but here's what
I'm guessing I need to do:
Get the sources for the kernel used by the sarge installer; compile
an appropriate driver, following instructions at, e.g.
http://at76c503a.berlios.de/; copy the driver onto a floppy; navigate
to the (well-hidden) screen in the installer allowing loading of
modules from floppy; and hope the sarge installer will know what to do
with it. Sound OK? (Doing 'uname -a' at the shell prompt in the
installer indicates that this Sarge CD image is using 2.4.25 and 2.6.5).
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

Description:
archdetect - Hardware architect detector (udeb)
ethdetect - Detect network hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
hw-detect - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
hw-detect-full - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (full version) (udeb)
Closes: 219890 247941
Changes:
ddetect (0.95) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Colin Watson
- Bump priorities of hw-detect and hw-detect-full to standard, in line
with the override file.
* Joey Hess
- Follow cdrom-detect's lead by making ethdetect ask for a driver
floppy if the network card detection fails and no module was
selected from the manual list. The previous method didn't work
since many media lack a menu item to load floppies. Closes: #247941
- BTW, think "firmware floppy". :-(
- Always autodetect network hardware. The question about whether to do
this was asked as low priority; hw-detect is safe and always asks at low
priority before loading modules, so the question was redundant.
Closes: #219890
* Joshua Kwan
- Devnames for PCMCIA devices, as given by their built in names, using
the information from /var/run/stab. Woohoo!
* Christian Perrier
- s/ethernet/Ethernet in new templates
* Updated translations:
