Yeah the driver does not have that id in it. I guess it was a version used only by HP/Compaq and no one ever tried to run linux on it or at least no one that did cared about wired networking. It might be a trivial case of adding the id to match one of the other revisions to make it work, but without the datasheet it is hard to know. > Again, no wired NIC available. > > My netbook is a Compaq Mini CQ10-520ES, currently running a looong- > standing Debian testing version and... well, okay, kernel says the same, > the NIC card is not being recognized, same message «unknown chip XID > 240». > > As this computer always uses the wireless adapter, I simply ignored the > wired NIC had been unavailable until now. > > This can be relevant: > https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/689563 Given it has HP as the subsystem id in the link, I suspect this id is a custom branded chip made for HP which hence has a unique ID, but is probably otherwise identical to another id. The wireless probably requires firmware, so it might work if booted with the non-free firmware version of the installer. -- Len Sorensen

Good point. While this is a 2 GiB RAM netbook, last time I checked only i386 and -pae kernel were working, but I can try again with amd64 image. (testing right now...) Well, the net-iso (64 bits) just loads fine. Logs here say (I must have mispelled the ID before): «r8169 :01:00.0 unknown chip XID 240». Again, no wired NIC available. My netbook is a Compaq Mini CQ10-520ES, currently running a looong- standing Debian testing version and... well, okay, kernel says the same, the NIC card is not being recognized, same message «unknown chip XID 240». As this computer always uses the wireless adapter, I simply ignored the wired NIC had been unavailable until now. This can be relevant: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/689563 Any hint is very welcome. Greetings, -- Camaleón

If it was XID 54A then it makes sense. That chip was added to the kernel in november 2019, and is part of 5.5 kernel and newer. Did you actually mean to install 32bit rather than 64bit given it must be a new machine? -- Len Sorensen
NIC not detected, unable to install (weekly + daily mini-iso)
Hello, Tried the mini-iso image to install testing (i386), with both, daily and weekly files. To my surprise, the installer was unable to detect the wired NIC adapter and wifi required a non-free firmware that I was unable to load (I tried by following the instructions and copying the files on a secondary USB stick, but no way). Kernel log showed something like «R8169 Unknown Chip XID 5A4».

Bug#956800: suggestion
Package: installation-reports Boot method: USB Stick Image version: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-10.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso Date: 2020-04-13 Machine: Lenonvo G700 Processor: Memory: Partitions: Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: I want to offer a suggestion, because i was a little bit puzzled by the following. After the installation of Debian I wanted to install `texlive` by typing `apt-get texlive-full` in the terminal (i think the actual packages doesn't really matter but anyway), but then there came the message Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 10.3.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20200208-12:08' in the drive 'media/cdrom' and press [Enter] However, I used an USB stick to install Debian and plugging in the usb stick didn't help. I could find a solution on the internet, which told me to change the file `/etc/apt/sources.list` and comment the corresponding line. I think this should be changed, because it is very confusing and not obvious how to continue. At least there should be a dialog that offers the option to not use the installation DVD.
