Assuming The specs are correct for the motherboard you possess, then from http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware it would seem you need phanfw.bin, which is in the firmware-netxen package. First check if the file is on your system already. In a terminal type ls -l /lib/firmware If it is not there, your easiest course of action is to reinstall. But first download firmware-netxen from http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-netxen and copy it to a USB stick. Insert the stick after starting the graphical install. The file on the stick should be automatically found and used when the interface is chosen and the network is configured by dhcp. Reading the Installation Manual is also recommended. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
