I've google a little bit. That model **seems** to have an Ethernet card from NVidia. If that's correct, your "lspci -nn" output include a line like : 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet (rev a2) [10de:054c] The device 10de:054c is handled by the "forcedeth" module, available in kernel 2.6.22 and above. Since Debian/Stable 4.0r3 (Etch) is shipping a 2.6.18 kernel, It can't handle that Ethernet card. The next point release (4.0r4) should include an updated kernel (I think it's due in a few month). Until then you can either : * Install Debian Etch 4.0r3 with CD, then manually download the linux-image-2.6.24 kernel on another computer, copy it on a USB key, then install it. [recommended] * Install Debian/Testing [not recommended] Franklin > $ lsmod > > > When I scroll the list and choose "8139too: RealTek RTL-8139 Fast > > so you know you (should) have an 8139? > > > Ethernet", the screen just keeps refreshing to the list of Ethernet > > cards. > > perhaps defective CDD/DVD - unlikely such basic modules are scattered on > > -- > paolo > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
