I browsed the web for this and found the sources r1000_v1.04.tgz at the Realtek
web site. While I would feel fit in principle to compile software once there is
a Makefile and a README I failed desperately to compile this module. I'm unsure
whether this concerns debian-installer, but I'm completely lost without network.
The consequence is IMHO that we should give some advise for people like me
that are beaten by hardware that is not supported by vanilla kernel.
I'm completely lost with this machine and hope for a slight hint what to do next
because all Google entries for compiling the driver point to some SuSE sites and
it seems to work for these guys but not for me, because the make process
stops like this:
# make modules
make -C src/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/r1000_v1.04/src'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/build
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/linux/r1000_v1.04/src modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/build'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
and if I create the missing directory /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/build I get
# make modules
make -C src/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/r1000_v1.04/src'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/build
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/linux/r1000_v1.04/src modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/build'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
I followed some other hints to copy the contents of the tar file
directly into the
kernel tree but failed as well.
Any hint that would help here?
Kind regards
Andreas.

I'm going to have to close this installation report as a "successful
install" because AFAICT the installer did everything right. If a device
is not supported in the kernel, there is very little we can do.
For help with the compilation of the driver for your NIC, I'd advise you
to try the debian-user list.
Thank you very much for submitting your report.
Cheers,
FJP
