I have a D-Link DFE-520TX ethernet card connecting
me, via a cable modem to the internet. I wish to install debian over
the internet. I have installed the base system fine, and it all works (i assume)
as it should. However, This particular card cannot be selected from the list
of NICs during installation (of the base system from the rescue disk). This
then means I cannot access the debian FTP site to download any more of debian. I
have checked on the supported hardware list and this particular card is
supported. There is a link however to a C file requiring me to recompile the
kernel to enable support for this card (ftp.dlinknet.com/PUB/Drivers/linux.zip).
Unfortunately the base system doesn't have such added bonuses as the kernel
source or Make. Do you have any ideas or suggestions about installing debian
via an FTP site.
Many thanks
