I do not have Debian installed. I have a file of drivers from Woody for PowerMac on a CD, and I tell the installation program to use that CD, but the list of drivers that I see in the installation program is not as long as I would have expected. I have tried some likely-looking drivers without success. My next step is to try a brute force attempt to use every driver in the list. Curiously, when the installation module boots from the ramdisk (I'm using BootX) it reports finding eth0 -- but at no time does my hardware switch detect a signal from Debian. Thanks for you time and interest, Dan
