Bug#320914: ethdetect: Fails to detect (or load module) the VmWare virtual pcnet32 card
Package: ethdetect
Severity: normal
This coul dbe a discover bug actually...
The recent d-i images fails to detect the virtual Ethernet card in VmWare.
After the "no Ethernet card" screen, the user is dropped in the manual
module loading screen and then selecting pcnet32 works.
So, I suspect this is just a detection problem (hence probably a discover bug)
Frans mentioned having the same problem.
