Comments/Problems:

Detecting network hardware stalls and hangs. Can be skipped with expert installer, but that doesn't result in
a working desktop. http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata

3.2.0-3-amd64

This is what happens as the d-i tries to bring up the network NIC:

eth1: link is not ready
r8169 unable to load firmware patch rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw
eth0: link down
eth0: link is notready
check missing firmware /dev/.udev/firmware-missing does not exist, skipping
check missing firmware: missing firmware files (rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw) for r8169

Ethernet controller [0200] Realtek RTL8111/8168B  rev 03
Subsystem ASUStek Device [1043:83a3]
Kernel driver in use r8169
but that module isnt used by 0.


On my other computer, which is build with a gigabyte ga-x48-dq6 MB, cant remember what bios i flashed it with, reported as
GA-EP45-DS5/GA-EG45M-DS2H Motherboard, there is a rtl8168c/8111c (rev 02) NIC

Loading the r8169 driver for 8168 hardware has been troublesome for quite some time http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2011/12/msg00212.html
I tried on a separate occasion to compile the 8168 driver from realtek myself, and that worked like a charm.

The b1 testing d-i works on the gigabyte board, but it does produce a bunch of silent link up / down errors in dmesg.
notable difference, "mii" module is used by r8169 and
ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded rtl8168c/8111c shows up in dmesg

Usb drive confirmed to work on an asrock machine to install debian testing.

This is a known issue in the kernel. It is worked around in mountmedia
anf is indeed fixed in daily built images:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ (pick the netboot image).
