Package: netcfg Severity: important
We find several cases in which D-I hangs searching network wired card when it needs extra firmware. If we unplug network cards D-I doen't stop in this step and continues the installation normally. Later, if we plug again the network card and install non-free firmware from repository, it works. D-I should ignore network configuration if you have a "firmwared" network-card and continue the installation. Otherwise it is impossible install Debian Squeeze if you have a laptop with this kind of network-card integrated in motherboard. All our cases are related with intel card and firmwares, here is my netcard: Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Intel Corporation EtherExpress PRO/100 VE Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at f7df7000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] I/O ports at dec0 [size=64] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: e100 Kernel modules: eepro100, e100 Installation of Debian fail even in "expert mode" ignoring network-card configuration because in the next steps it says that it is necesary.
