USB stick shows up at sda.

Yup. In neither of the two experiments I ran this morning did any
license prompt show up. One was preseeded, the other not.

The unattended upgrade of grub failed (due to the fact that I had

I tried a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet adapter, CE38-100BTX, which uses
the xirc2ps_cs driver. It runs, if slowly, on an installed system. But
on installation, the software fails to detect it also.
I noticed in the log on console F4 a message:
pcmcia-socket-startup: chdir to /etc/pcmcia failed: no
I fixed (?) the network issues by putting a 10MB hub between the Tecra
and the rest of the network. Other than the collision light lighting up
the night, it works fine with a data rate of about 1 MB/sec.
That, however, did not fix the detection issue. I still get no network
during installation.
