Scratch that, I just discovered that if you initise the PCMCIA you don't have to load a driver for the net card, and now it works. I feel slightly dim.

Network install over a 3c574?
Hi everyone. I'm trying to put Debian testing on my IBM Thinkpad 240x -- an ultrathin laptop with no cd-rom drive. As such, I was going to do a install from boot floppies, with the base system on the FAT32 partiton also on the disk, then FTP to get packages. However, I've been scuppered because my 3Com 3ccfe574bt PCMCIA NIC needs the 3c574 driver, which isn't on the Potato boot floppies. How can I tackle this? Thanks in advance. -- -=R=- Web: http://www.fscked.co.uk ICQ: 6654507 "Beer! Now THERE'S a temporary solution!" -- Homer J Simpson
