Nope. ne2000 is a standard for ISA network cards, and as d-i doesn't do ISA probing (and it shouldn't do either, as this has a tendency to crash machines), the ne module must have parameters to find the network card. > > If this is the case, module_probe() should take the debconf priority > for the ethdetect/module_params question as an argument.

Yes, this sounds like a good idea. regards, Rune Holm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
