Comments/Problems:
The Install FAILED -- Would not complete. The install fails upon network card
detection -- (Zonet) Realtek 8185 (L) -- With this wireless card removed the
install completes. I tried installing the wireless card (Zonet) after a
sucessful install without it in place only to have it hang on re-boot after it
was put back into the system! (the appropriate? modules were loaded prior to
trying, rtl818x). I tried to fix the system by installing a newer kernel
(2.6.30) from lenny-backports -- This also Failed to work with the Zonet/Realtek
8185 wireless network card. No Joy.
(FYI -- ubuntu 9.10 also FAILED to Install with this network card in place.)
