amd64 does net detect my wired and wireless nic at installation
in [Debian]

From: Bernard Fay on 19 Jul 2010 09:50 Hello everyone, When I try to install amd64 (Debian 5.05) on my new laptop, a Lenovo x201 tablet. I wish to use amd64 because I have 8GB for RAM and I think 64-bit is now the way to go. The installer does not detect neither my wired or wireless NIC. The installer gives me a list of network adapter drivers, I select the the appropriate drivers but it keeps saying it cannot find the network hardware. I tried Ubuntu amd64 and it was succesful but I would prefer to go with Debian. Someone has a clue on this problem? thanks, Bernard

On a recent DELL Opteron I had to use a squeeze installer (kernel 2.6.32) to detect my intel network card.

I guess that you need a newer kernel that supports your NIC. It would help if you could paste the output of "lspci -knn" from your Ubuntu installation or from within a live cd like grml. You could also check the hardware support situation at: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ Debian provides stable installers with newer kernels at: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ which you might want to use in order to solve your problem. I would strongly discourage installing testing just because your NIC is not supported by Lenny's kernel. have fun Wolodja -- .''`.

Is this officially part of debian ? I never came across that link before, that would have been much less pain...
