Comments/Problems:
Network config claimed obtaining an IP via DHCP failed, but in fact it worked just fine. The NIC in question is an Avaya Silver WiFi card, used on a 802.11b network with WEP enabled. Note that the 'uname -a' output is from the kernel that was installed by a dist-upgrade to unstable after initial installation. The original kernel was the 2.4.25 kernel that came as default on the ISO. Hard disk partitioning was done automatically by the installer, it auto-setup the free space into / and swap. GRUB installation took forever due to lack of floppy drive and it didn't sem to detect and add Windows ME (hda1) to the boot menu.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.

Description:

netcfg-static - Configure a static network (udeb)
Closes: 227722 236533 239121 239591 240701 244441 244819 244901 247178 247751 248636 249363
Changes:
netcfg (0.64) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Joshua Kwan
- Split out all functions into static.c, dhcp.c, wireless.c.
- Remove dep alternative to busybox-cvs-udeb etc., since udhcpc is no
longer available in any initrd. This causes businesscard and netinst
installs to fail because busybox is already provided and hence gets
used.
- Remove udhcpc support in dhcp.c.
- Port wireless fixes back to netcfg-static and netcfg-dhcp, which
have been rather neglected lately.
- Fix the GO_BACK interaction between WEP and ESSID configuration.
- Switch to using iproute for everything, a step towards removing
ifconfig and route applets from busybox.
- Add amd64 support. (Closes: #249363)
- Open one set of socket FDs and use them for the whole runtime.
- Write loopback all the time, even when you abort network config.
(Closes: #248636)
- Redesign DHCP strategy with a new template that uses a select,
allowing the user to clearly alternate to static network config
(Closes: #244901, #227722)
- Display a brief note when DHCP lease gets acquired. (Closes: #247751)
- Now we can ask for a DHCP hostname to add. (Closes: #236533, #239591)
- If we didn't use one, see if the server is offering us one and seed
netcfg/get_hostname with it. (Closes: #239121, #240701)
- Failing that, bring the interface up and try to reverse-resolve
the IP address into a hostname.
- For idempotency reasons, down all interfaces after finding each
one so that we can start from a clean slate. (Probably deals with
Bug#227722)
- Silently load af_packet. (Closes: #244441)
- Add some code hunks from mii-diag to determine code path on link
connection. (Closes: #247178)
- Add some interface_up and interface_down functions.
- Fix a long standing bug in devnames retrieval that did not strip
newlines from the devnames input and caused cdebconf to screw
up on subsequent questions.
- Bump the DHCP wait to 15 seconds. The magic number seems to be just
over 10 for me. (Closes: #244819)
- Template cleanups: netcfg/static-title, netcfg/dhcp-title,
netcfg/internal-pcmcia, netcfg/confirm_dhcp
- Add dhcp3-client support. Not that it actually gets used now that
we can get a DHCP-supplied hostname from dhcp-client.
- Remove a lot of calls to /sbin/this and /sbin/that in response to Joey's
rant on debian-boot.
* Bastian Blank
- Remove sleep.
