Re: Installing Woody using IBM EtherJet PCMCIA

Unfortunately, that wouldn't solve my problem.

- There are no CDs available yet for woody. I have a cablemodem, so I don't mind downloading the entire distribution once or twice to get it installed.

- I very, very highly doubt that the cs89x0_cs driver is included in the Debian distribution. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen it...)

There is also the fact that I can't boot from CD on that machine, but I suppose that is rather unimportant...

Yes, woody's floppy boot-up procedure does the same thing. It unpacks 'drivers.tgz' but the cs89x0_cs driver does not seem to be included there... so until I find out how to add the cs89x0_cs driver, I'm rather out of luck.
