Reassigning to the kernel team. The relevant device is 11ab:4320. In modules.pcimap: skge 0x000011ab 0x00004320 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0 sk98lin 0x000011ab 0x00004320 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0 > I completed the installation and rebooted, which kept networking > enabled.

Yes, the order probably does matter and the order can change from one boot to the next. > After applying the changes above, and rebooting I couldn't start up > GDM, because a number of drivers weren't loaded/ installed, such as the > xserver-xorg-input-mice, xserver-xorg-input-kdm packages.

If you can find out a bit more about what may have gone wrong, I suggest filing a bug report against xserver-xorg-core. Cheers, FJP
