Bug#614054: netcfg: Debian-Installer hangs searching network wired card with firmware

2011-02-19 Thread minino
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.


Greetings.

Please attach the syslog from the installation demonstrating the hang
behaviour; that will allow us to better identify the component and area of
code at fault.

Could I have the PCI ID of that card?

pci.ids says that's 8086:2449.
