Hi all

Hi (again).

The problem is this:

Experimental1 with iso file with firmware write on usb:
syslog-stick-firmware.txt > do not ask me choice for firmware netcard.


After 20 minutes that starting installing, do not anything.

Do not ask request firmeware

Use the expert installer an manually load the firmware from the main
menu.



Ok



You appear to have gone back to a HDD install. The firmware is on the
same medium so it can find it. That is why it does not ask you for it.

In a previous email you said:

The installer will not display this screen if the firmware is not loaded.

If you can see

eth0:Broadcom Nextreme
Wlan: Atheros bla bla bla

The installer has found and loaded the firware.

Now please do this:

* ls /lib/firmware *

* and post the output to the list. *
