Well, almost two years later, I installed a DVD burner in my old laptop and in order to test it, I burned a couple of debian-derived Linux LiveCD images -- grml and ubuntu .. in their latest versions. And it looks like the original problem I reported is still there in those two current LiveCD's. Neither could configure the "network" .. since they couldn't find my NIC. One of them even displayed some useful stuff blaming the issue on my "3CCFEM556" .. I forget the exact message. I don't know if debian has anything equivalent to these live CD images, and maybe it has been fixed in recent debian versions? I realize I can probably modify the iso images on my HD before burning them to optical media .. see workaround in bug report .. but isn't this rather annoying that this same "bug/feature" is still around two years down the line and apparently contaminating other distributions? There must be a good reason why this wasn't fixed since it's only a matter of issuing a cp followed by an mv to rename the .cis file .. but I don't see anything appended to my bug report that explains why it was not done. Since I'm neither technically capable nor authorized to do so (and thank goodness for that) .. am I at fault in some other way and should I contact the debian developer about this..? Or should I just live with it, considering that this is pretty old, uninteresting, hardware anyway and probably not really worth fixing? Don't take me wrong.. I'm not bitching about the debian developer .. I can't think of anyone making this a priority .. I'm just trying to understand a bit better how this all hangs together.
