Bug#352758 -- installation: "etch" installer fails to detect/configure PC card NIC

[Chris Jones <cjns1989@gmail.com>]

I reported Bug #352758 -- installation: "etch" installer fails to
detect/configure PC card NIC -- c. four years ago and was wondering if
there were any new developments.

I was directed to this list but am unsure whether this is indeed the
right place to ask.

One thing I have noticed is that this bug has propagated to all install
and CD live distros that are debian based, but my main concern is that
this will make things difficult especially for new users of debian.

Please let me know what is my best course of action.

Thanks,

CJ
