Package: install
Severity: normal

I am using Debian Installer to do a net install from floppy disks on an
old Pentium 133 laptop with 32 Mb of RAM.  

After booting and reading the root and net-drivers disks, I get asked
what modules to install for my network card.  I choose the xirc2ps_cs
driver for my Xircom Credit Card pcmcia card, then get returned to the
same screen full of network module choices.  I hit escape to go to the
main installer menu, and choose "Configure the network".  Immediately I
get a red error screen which says "no network interfaces detected."

At this point, I go to the shell and type 'ifconfig'.  No network
interfaces appear, I get no output from ifconfig.  

Typing 'lsmod' shows that the xirc2ps_cs and pcmcia-core modules are
installed.

Since I am trying to use my local ADSL service, I run 'dhclient eth0'.
This spits out several error messages, including:
    SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device
    /etc/dhclient-script: 99: sleep: not found
    socket: address family not supported by protocol

Just for the heck of it, I also tried 
    'ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up'
This didn't work either, it failed with these errors:

    SIOCSIFADDR: no such device
    SIOCSIONETMASK: no such device
    SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
