netinst doesn't recognize a common ethernet card

#1 Post by Greg »

Hi i'm trying to install debian with netinst. the program does not recognize my ethernet card, which is a common one: d-link de-530T.
Doc says that card is recognized... Any idea?? this is driving me crazy...

Do you mean DGE-530T?
You have only one network card installed, do you not?
You have disabled on-board ethernet circuitry in the BIOS, haven't you?
What does your computer tell you when you do lspci -v?

No internet access

The new Debian-Installer doesn't seem to recognize my internet connection. I am using a VIA 8XXX card (Rhine II), which shows up in lspci. I looked in /dev for eth0 and found nothing. (Maybe that isn't the right place to look.)

Older installers saw the card and, using DHCP, hooked me up fine.

Now, apt can't get to the other sources. I am failing install at that point.

FIXED-added coding to /etc/network/interfaces

I added coding for eth0 as dhcp and auto loading. Executing

Code: Select all

ifup eth0
fixed the problem.

Booting the net-install using the 2.6 kernel may well have fixed this too.

type "linux26" instead of pressing enter at boot
