Network Install & Network Drivers
I'm attempting an install of Woody over the internet. I've got the bf2.4
floppy set, booted into the installer, and got to the stage where it
needed to configure the network settings to get onto the internet.
This done, it went and fetched it's files, and we went on to the Install
Modules screen...
...where my network card isn't there. Or, rather, the driver of my
network card isn't there. The driver it uses is 8139cp (or 8139too, it
doesn't matter). The question is how did it contact my DHCP server,
firewall, the FTP server and everything else if it doesn't know what my
network card is, and can I find out what module or driver it was using
for this magic purpose?
