Comments/Problems: When configuring network HW the installer failed to
detect my 3c589B ethernet PC Card. The install process then asked for a
manual entry of the proper module. When I selected the proper module
(3c589_cs) the entry was not accepted and would loop back to the "[!] detect
network hardware". I was able to continue with the installation process
but, of course, without network support.
When rebooting the system hard locks after single-beep on starting PCMCIA
services. Without card installed system boots and continues to base system
configuration.
I have been trying to install Debian using 3.0 Woody and have found this new
Debian-Installer to be wonderful. Although as usual I have problems with
PCMCIA and the 3c589B installation.
