i have exactly the same problem here, using the squeeze rc1 netinst iso for amd64 on a hp pavilion dv6: firmware is loaded if i provide it, but the network card doesn't work afterwards. after hints (and with help) from #debian-boot i managed to fudge a r8169.ko taken from linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64_2.6.32-30_amd64.deb into the installer. this solves the problem for me. regards robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
