those cd's sound suspicious/flaky.
i'd troubleshoot the nic prob down
to atleast having legit "potato"
media--_valid_ cd's or download the
flies (from http://www.debian.org)
for "base" install floppies. i
believe i have the same nic.
...never had "recognition" probs.
(doesn't http://www.cheapbytes.com
sell "potato" for like, $6.00?)
"...$40.00"? ouch! and it's
_un-debian!
(shall we go snipe hunting?)
