I will suggest an errata item for the release candidate installer that should be available in a couple of days from now: ********************************************************************* PCMCIA device shifting (between CD-ROM and NIC) during install: If you choose to install Debian via CD, but you only have your CD-ROM drive and NIC (which you want to setup and use as primary NIC during installation) accessible via a single PCMCIA slot in your computer, here is what you can do to work around this situation. Boot the installer with the CD-ROM device plugged into the PCMCIA slot and do a normal 1st stage installation, except that you should skip network setup or just type in dummy values at this point. Then when it says "Installation complete", choose 'Go back' to drop back to the main menu. Now change the PCMCIA device from CD-ROM to NIC, and choose to 'Detect network hardware'. Your NIC should now be detected and you can continue (again 'Go back' to main menu) to 'Network configuration'. If your NIC is a wireless, press Alt+F2 to get a shell. Change the PCMCIA device from NIC to CD-ROM and type in the shell: chroot /target mount /cdrom apt-get install wireless-tools umount /cdrom exit Go back to Alt+F1 and change the PCMCIA device from CD-ROM to NIC. Choose 'Continue' to reboot (with NIC in PCMCIA slot) and thereby finish the 1st stage of the installation process. When 2st stage comes up after the reboot, you should have a working NIC and as such you can choose to download extra packages via ftp, http, etc. Should you, however, not have a working NIC at this point, go to the shell (Alt+F2) and try to reload your NIC: ifdown <iface> && ifup <iface> Return to Alt+F1 and continue installation (assuming networking now works)... ********************************************************************* Also, I will clone off this report to the netcfg developers to inform them of the problem you are having where you have to 'up' your Cardbus interface manually upon every reboot (they might ask you for further info regarding this). After having cloned off this report to the developers in charge of networking, I will close this one. Many thanks for all your time. - -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: search for 'dannemare' on http://pgpkeys.mit.edu Key fingerprint: BB7B 078A 0DBF 7663 180A F84A 2D25 FAD5 9C4E B5A8 http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBEr6aLSX61ZxOtagRAvZiAJ9HXKz5ldp+kPL10l3BvVahRsnQxwCcC+yV Nz/t/IzIMsvDHSEIj18ZuoQ= =t+PQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
