When installing debian testing on a new machine I
am playing with, a dell 1750, I used the network drivers floppy and had no
problem downloading whatever debian needed for installation from one of the
mirrors on the internet. It told me to reboot at some point, I took out
out the floppy in the machine and rebooted. When it came back up, it said
there was no internet access and offered me a PPP setup procedure. I had
thought it would just get on the ethernet given what values I gave it for the
install. I went to a prompt and was surprised to see that the ethernet
interface wasnt on the list (it's a broadcom).
I skimmed the dmesg and didn't see the broadcom
interface there either. What's the deal here, it worked on the install but
not when booting from the hard drive?
Anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing
wrong?
thanks,
mohan
