Comments/Problems:

NIC install was incomplete. Motherboard is ASUS M4A89 series with on-board NIC (Realtek 8111e). Still, it
initiated with the install. It saw my home network and router, but not beyond - but it DID manage to find the
Debian website (NOT the pages in the install). DNS lookups failed, but if a TCP address was entered, the site
would be found (lookup takes a while though). Traceroute to Google shows:

2 98.67.134.1 adsl-98-67-139-1.shv.bellsouth.net
10 12.123.153.18 crl.attga.ip.att.net
16 * *
17 * *
18 74.125.47.103 yw-in-f103.1e100.net

and it takes more than 5 min for Traceroute to finish (each server rectifies very slowly). Other computers
on the home network have no problems - we are about 100' from a DSL node.

The ifconfig command appears not to work (at least, not in a bash shell). The GUI network
administration tool does NOT have an eth0 (or any NIC) tab - only General, DNS, and Hosts.

dmesg:
[ 1.599444] ehci_hcd 0000:00:12.2: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

Note that the manufacturer board NIC spec is not the same as what dmesg and lspci -nn found

Also, I had to disconnect the RAID array because the installer put Linux on it without giving me an option
to place it on the un-arrayed drive (which has to be on SATA 5 or 6, since those are IDE compatible and slower).
