    Hi all,
     
    I've downloaded and burned the boot.iso to start the FTP install from
    CD. The disk boots me in to the menu that allows me to choose to do a
    new installation, and then to choose FTP. Unfortunately, if I choose any
    kind on network method, it tells me to load a network module. I'm
    currently using an Intel Pro 100+ NIC which is listed under SuSE's HCL
    as fully supported. The box I'm trying to install on is currently
    running WinXP Pro and the NIC works fine under XP. When attempting the
    SuSE install I can load the network module for my NIC, but have no idea
    what to enter for "parameters". My questions are these:
     
    1. Should it be automatically detecting the NIC and loading the
    module? Is the fact that I have to do this an indicator that my NIC is
    not being recognized? (Though I do see it under the Kernel Messages).
    2. If this is normal, What are my options for parameters? I've
    searched SuSE and Google for infor on this to no avail.
     
    Any insight is appreciated.
     
    Thanks,
     
    Mark
