Re: SiS900 Ethernet Problems
Thanx for the quick answer!
I never tried CTRL-C yet, but i will for sure;-)
However, do you - or anybody - know the reason for this behaviour???
It would be great to find another solution...
BTW: im not sure aboit it, but on university i always start with a cable
connected, but i think its the same thing!! (but as i said, im not sure...)

several new laptops (gericom, ipc, ...). I had no problems installing Debian

stops for about a minute and the kernel says "Media Link Off". Then
everything goes on as it should - but ONE minute delay on a laptop is a very
long time (its being booted and halted several times a day!).
