Comments/Problems:

This notebook (unfortunately) has a r8196 based network card, which
requires non-free firmware. the stock installer-image asks for this
firmware (rtl8168d-2.fw). i found this firmware and put it on the
usb-stick. after that the installer does not ask for the firmware
anymore, and dmesg shows that it has loaded the firmware and actually
started the driver (link up etc). however dhcp config over the network
fails, as does anything else. 

after tips from #debian-boot i replaced the r8169.ko that the installer
loads with the one from linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64_2.6.32-30_amd64.deb,
which makes the installer work and configure the network correctly. so
it seems that version of the driver is better than the older one...

any questions or anything i shoudl try: holler

regards  robert

Hi,
your bug has been filed against the "linux-2.6" source package and was filed for
a kernel older than the recently released Debian 7.x / Wheezy with a severity
less than important.

We don't have the ressources to reproduce the complete backlog of all older kernel
bugs, so we're closing this bug for now. If you can reproduce the bug with Debian Wheezy
or a more recent kernel from testing or unstable, please reopen the bug by sending
a mail to control@bugs.debian.org with the following three commands included in the
mail:

reopen BUGNUMBER
reassign BUGNUMBER src:linux
thanks

Cheers,
        Moritz
