My machine would constantly hang when I downloaded large (or sometimes not so large) files. I tried lots of different kernels both in the 2.4 and 2.2 series. The problematic driver was eepro100, but I did a network install just fine, my problems started when I moved the machine to another room at work and so it might be related to certain hubs. 1. Try the eepro100 driver. But be aware that it might cause you trouble. Test it thoroughly. 2. If it does not satisfy you, go with the intels drivers. If you have trouble compiling you own kernel, perhaps I could compile one to you, (mail the off-list in that case). Debian does not list this adapter in the > install routine.
