I tried the Netinstall and Bsuinesscard image from 30.05.2004

The 2.4 kernel works fine

The 2.6 kernel does not have network modules.
The output on the log-terminal (ALT-F4) is:
 user.notice hw-detect: Missing module
 'tg3' 'ide-scsi' 'ide-mod' 'ide-probe-mod' 'ide-detect' 'ide-floppy'
In the shell (ALT-F2) there is no folder
/lib/modules/2.6.5-.../kernel/drivers/net
??
