Yes, the card was correctly detected. > Now, I have to boot into single user mode, because otherwise the boot > process stops after segfaulting dhcpcd, doing a little more, and then > hangs on trying to bring up sendmail. The segfault looks like: Sendmail 'hangs' because it's trying to access the network (which it can't) to do a lookup on it's IP #. If you wait a minute or so everything should continue booting. > Unable to handle kernel NULL point dereference at virtual address 00000000 > +current->tss.cr3 = 03d63000, %cr3 = 03d63000 That's not a segmentation fault - that's a kernel oops (the Linux equivalent to a Windows Blue Screen of Death).
