does somebody know how to do an installation using a wireless usb
rtl-8187L, which does not need any kind of firmware, it works correctly
with lenny, sid and maybe with any other linux distribution.
My problem is that the netinstall does not recognize the usb card at the
beginning, then i have to stop installing, and the module related to the
card does not apper in any place.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
don't know if it can help you, but I have such a wifi controller on my
motherboard (not using it though, and never for a netinstall), here the
lsmod output :
So it seems you need rtl8187, and there's an eeprom reader involved to
eeprom 93cx6.
"dpkg -S" tells me that all of this is compiled in my kernel, but maybe
not in the installer one ?
It has always worked out of the box.
Tom

Yes, it is exactly what i thought, because i tested it with Slax, and it
worked very well.
Then, it could means what i have to recompile the netinstall kernel,
build the new personalized netinstall, and burn CD. if it were not
possible activating it at boot. Is it correct?
PS:
Is it possible installing from Slax, chrooting i mean?
