Greetings-
The broadcast address was fine in the new 18 Feb 05 monolithic installer from
debian-amd64.
Unfortunately, my DSL modem still crashed and so must be unrelated to the
broadcast address.
The problem might not be due to netcfg. I don't know.
I remember the DSL modem crashed in a similar way using the i386 D-I two months
ago on a Celeron.
The problem only occurs using D-I. I think there is a problem with D-I maybe
not netcfg. I saved
the /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog when the modem crashed if you are
interested except
they don't contain anything related to the crash.
* Still continue to close this bug unless you think netcfg is the problem.

+++++++++ Installation Report:
Hello Everybody-
I am sending email from a fresh sid install from pure64 using the 18 Feb 2005
sid-amd64-monolithic.iso installer.
This install was my first to complete using any monolithic image.
The base installation was halted twice when my DSL modem crashed and needed to
be reset. Fortunately, I went back
to the menu and the installer now resumed the install instead of starting over.
The modem crashed at 14% and 17%
and then the installer went to completion. The netcfg broadcast address was
correct during the entire installation.
There are never any crashes except when using D-I. The broadcast address must
be unrelated to the crashes.
Here is the ifconfig after the first crash of the DSL modem.

The CDROM ejected and I rebooted using my custom kernel and the network is fine.
This installation was made to my AMD64 ASUS A8V using VIA ide and sata
controller.
The sk98lin ethernet was installed automatically and no manual tweaks made.
Again,
this is my first installation to complete using the monolithic installer.
