There was a bug report to the debian-boot list recently: https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2013/11/msg00143.html http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729855 Sounds like the same problem, but only for jessie and sid, though. > Then I continue because this can be rectified once a mirror has been > chosen and there is no Ethernet card found, and there is no wireless > option when looking for network hardware?

(And for the wired device, you need to blacklist another module the linux kernel chooses by default.) I didn't really read the details much, but you might want to check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1964200 (wired) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2162026 (wireless) Further googling might get you something better/easier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
