Herbert, As an update I tried the full install CD image (debian-squeeze-di-beta2-amd64-CD-1.iso) and had the same result. The systems boots, and the installer starts, but I soon get requests for "rtl8168d-1.fw" and "rtl8168d-2.fw".
I have installed Lenny 5.0.4 i386 from a CD I had laying around and it did not request for any firmware files. Networking is functional under the 32bit Lenny install, but getting 64bit Squeeze running is my goal. Here is the output for: lspci -nn 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 03) Thanks, Stephen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
