Re: Installing debian on HP pavilion a6434

Even after reading:
http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2008/06/21/a-much-simpler-fix-for-the-r8169-link-down-problem
and
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448
and
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_RTL8168

I still cannot get passed the network configuration. I could not find

options but none *exactly* matched this one.
