Gentlepeople, I have a QDI Alacritas 520-K8 AMD 64 based notebook. I have loaded Woody r0 bf2.4 kernel from CD and no networking came up automatically.
I manually loaded the via-rhine driver for the on board network chip but dhclient times out and I can get no network connection. I have successfully got the Gentoo AMD 64 live cd to boot (using the emachines kernel) and auto detect and connect using the via-rhine driver (but that attempted installation has other problems which are OT in this list). The networking also failed in Mandrake v9.2. This machine is similar to these: Italy: Olidata Strainer 8030 Japan: Hercule Prometheus 6000 Japan: Linasis A64 Japan: Progress AT64320 Arima A520 K8 Other info: Chipset: VIA K8T800 + VT8235A3 Graphic ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 Any help getting the networking working in Debian would be appreciated as it is not very useful without it.
