Re: BroadCom net card (bcm4400 kernel module) and sarge installer

My question is how to I get this set up early in the install process so

Alternatively, how do I set up the card now that I have a very minimal
install & then proceed with base-config?

I believe that the latest Sarge installer (Beta 4) has a kernel (2.4.25
IIRC) that has support for Broadcom NICs (in the tg3 module). No need to
load additional drivers.
Cheers - I am guessing that now I simply need to "load additional driver modules" and select tg3 early in the installation.. correct?

This is something I wondered - how do newbies know what modules to select during installation (if autodetection procedures don't sort them out)..?

Thanks,
Rua.
