You need linux-2.4.19 or later in order to get the e1000 driver. The older linux-2.4.18 did not have it. > Here's my question: > > a) does Beta 4 have the e1000 drivers? This is really a question of kernels and not of debian-installer. But yes, the beta 4 does have a newer kernel and so the driver is there. > b) If not, how do I load the e1000 drivers during the install?
