Bug#352758: Workaround

[cga2000 <cga2000@optonline.net>]

Workaround for bug #352758:

Before executing the `detect network hardware step' switch to a shell
via Alt+F2, copy the 3CCFEM556.dat file included in the pcmcia-cs 3.2.8
package to /lib/firmware, and rename it to 3CCFEM556.cis.

On an "etch" netinstall, I issued the following commands:

# mkdir /lib/firmware
# cp /etc/pcmcia/cis/3CCFEM556.dat /lib/firmware/3CCFEM556.cis

After switching back to the first VT, the NIC is detected and the
install proceeds normally.

Thanks to Peter Stuge, cc'd above for providing the solution.
