Debian on Lenovo Thinkcentre 6078
 

Hi all,

Installing Debian on Lenovo Thinkcentre 6078, the installer can´t find network card modules. The network card its an Intell 82566DM-2 Gigabit network Conection. Somebody have some issue about this?


Thanks!

On the 2.6.24 kernel the e1000 module should work. Try 'modprobe
e1000'.

I had serious issues with Debian Lenny and my network on a R61 and in
the end I did two things: reset the bios to factory default and
install Ubuntu Hardy - and everything just worked.

The problem I had (and I have tried about 4 or 5 different kernels) on
Debian was that I had intermittent network. It sometimes just died
and then I had to restart network-manager again.

I will probably again try Debian on the R61 just to make sure that I
did not suspect Debian falsely :)

Regards
Johann

Ok,

I made an alternative solution, building another install image from bussinesscard.iso, avaliable as busscard-intell82566DM2.iso at http://www.transbrasilvirtual.org/debian/busscard-intell82566DM2.iso, today at 23:55 (-3).


Thanks all!
Samuel.
