For starters on the working (installed) computer: * Shows `lspci -v -s 00:19.0` indeed the Network Interface Card? ( are we quering the right PCI slot? ) * What is the output of `lspci -n -s 00:19.0` * `/sbin/modinfo e1000e` gives many numbers. Do you see numbers from output of `lspci -n -s 00:19.0`? If not, provide the whole output of `/sbin/modinfo e1000e` * Output of `uname -a` Next is booting with Debian-Installer 8.5. The request is *booting* with the installer. (there is *no need* to install the system again) Go to a shell in d-i ( ALT-F2 ) * Output of `uname -a` * Shows `modinfo e1000e` numbers of `lspci -n -s 00:19.0`? Some more requests * keep 835...@bugs.debian.org in the loop * in line quoting Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
