Which netinstaller? In the next paragraph, you use the term "standard
netinstaller". Does this mean one without firmware?

? That seems to be a new interpretation of the thread:

What's unsaid here is /how/ you use your Alcatel Linkzone to connect.

So what's your question? And if it's meant to be the Subject line,
I don't see any relationship with the rest of the post.
My question is why are you trying to install it again? And if your
problem, whatever it is, is to do with the firmware version (I can't
see why extra packages would trip anything up), why do you need it:
you've already got all those packages at home anyway.
Cheers,
David.
