Hi, David, Thanks for the advice. I am doing a fresh install. My CD is on the way to my place, so I only download the 1440resc.bin, 1440driv.bin and those base*.bins. When I was asked to configure the module, I could not find anything with NIC or "Vortex/Boomerang" among the choice list. I am using the one downloaded from ftp://ftp.debian.org. The kernel is 2.0.34. Are you using the same one? Thanks.
