<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>



Sorry if I used the wrong message format, I don't get Debian installed and so I do not get reportbug running.

Installation does not work on EeePC 701.

I used the netinstall image (debian-6.0.3-i386-netinst.iso), dd'ed it to a SD-card and rebooted the EeePC.

It looks like the Ethernetadapter Atheros L2 100 Mbit (rev a0) and the WLAN Adapter Atheros AR5007EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) are both not working.

I tried to modprobe the corresponding modules, but the modules are not in the image.

Since Netzwork does not work the installer tries to find a CD-ROM drive which I do not have.

The only option left is to stop the installation.

Is there a kernel and initrd files which I can copy into the SD-card to resolve the problem?

Regards Richard
