Debian amd64 not detecting my network card (32 bit Debian does!)




I decided to install amd64 on my computer which has Asus M3 socket motherboard, M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3, chipset AMD 880G/SB850, and onboard gigabit lan controller, Realtek® 8111E.

I installed 32 bit Debian using netinstall some days ago without too many problems (see my post with subject Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 (was:Re: AM3 socket Asus M4A87TD EVO ...).

But today when I booted my USB stick to install amd64 Debian, the installer failed to detect my network card. Boot disk was created using the two step procedure listed here (Squeeze section):
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/InstallUsingStandardInstaller

I also tried different boot.img.gz and net installer from the following sites:

for boot image:
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ (file date is 17:58 26-06-10) http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ (file date is 22:43 10-07-10)

for net installer iso:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_alpha1/amd64/iso-cd/ (file date is 17-Feb-2010 23:05) http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/ (file date is 13-Jul-2010 17:11)


So, the 32 bit installer worked on my motherboard but amd64 bit installer fails to see the network card. Is there something I am missing here?

Thanks.
