Comments/Problems:
I'm trying to installing the Debian Lenny AMD64 netinst on an Asus A8V-MX motherboard with an integrated Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 ethernet controller. The Debian installer is able to detect the network device but it is unable to configure the network. I have tried DHCP, DHCP with hostname, and manual configuration, providing a fixed IP address, network mask, etc. Nothing works. I was able to complete the minimal install without IP access. I also tried using a Linux driver for the Realtek controller that was provided on a CD by the motherboard manufacturer. I copied the driver to
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ and rebooted but this did not solve the
problem.
