Re: Debian does not have NIC driver

I am relatively new to Debian, so please forgive me if the dumb factor
is high. I am trying to install debian from disks (rescue.bin,
root.bin, driver-x.bin) and I cannot get it to install the Network
drivers. The Network card is an Intel Pro1000 and the driver does not
appear to be on any of the disks. First question is, can anyone tell me
where the driver is? Dell and Intel only appear to have Red Hat
versions. If and when I do find it, how do I get it on the disks? I
cannot use the CD ROM right now, and I want to load the base system over
FTP, so I really need the network connectivity.
Thanx for any help.

You'll need to compile a kernel:

Good luck, I was only doing this for the first time not so long ago :)
