For reasons unbeknownst to me, I've had problems
before when using 3c509's with Debian's stock
installation kernel. There has even been a few
times when I had to swap NICs just for the installation
to work. As soon as I compile my a custom kernel for
the machines and put the 3c509's back in, it w

FWIW, I absolutely loathe dselect. I'm sure it's
probably improved with the last few releases of Debian,
but it used to be a royal PITA.
The only time I use dselect is during the initial
installation just because it starts up automatically.
I immediately exit dselect, let the system reboot,

There's also the possibility that they're thinking about DHCP. A
number of admins can tell stories of the time someone was trying to
set up a DHCP server for one of their interfaces, and they
