Debian can't find my ethernet card

Post by ayu »

Ok so I installed Debian before on my lappy and got it working, but I got some other issues so I had to jump over to Ubuntu for a while. Now I'm installing Debian again, but I got a problem.....

I can't detect my ethernet card. I'm using the network install CD, could this have any effect on what drivers it has and what hardware it can detect?


EDIT: I tried looking around for my cards drivers name, but couldn't find it. The company where I bought it has stopped selling it so I couldn't get any info from their site either.

Well, it's during the install. I switched to text mode, and it has stopped on
net/hw.detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface lo
net/hw.detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface eth0

_
I assume it's the wireless that it can't detect



EDIT: And Debians server for all the files, have been down for a while now (ironic) so I can't download the DVD and test it instead xF


EDIT2: meh...since I already backed up all my stuff, I might as well do something fun with the lappy, not really into solving the Debian problem atm -.- .... gogo operation Mac OS X xD
