Package: cdrom Version: 5.0.3 Severity: important
Debian stable (Lenny) installation will fail during the network devices detection for some wireless cards based on the rtl818x chipsets, for instance the ZyXel G-302 v3. The installation will simply freeze during this step. A similar behaviour has already been identified on other distributions, see the following bug reports on Ubuntu and Fedora : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/368679 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501109 The issue most likely comes from the rtl8180 module. A workaround is to physically remove the problematic wireless card from the computer, then replug and install and configure ndiswrapper once the installation is finished. This module should be either corrected, or completely removed from the installation cdrom, or the user should be at least warned and prompted for the loading of this module. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
