I'm installing Debian 5.0.8 on a Dell Latitude E6410 using the network install x86 CD. Unfortunately, it won't detect my Ethernet adapter. Specifically, I get the error: No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list.
lspci shows: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10ea (rev 05)
That should correspond to the e100e driver. But, if I select it from the list, the install CD still fails to detect it.
Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 are able to use this device with no problem.
Does anybody know what I can do to make Debian use my Ethernet adapter?
Thanks, PaulH
