the nic driver was loaded but the nic was not configured (it was set for 
DHCP)
I had to manually configure the nic.

only loopback was listed from the ifconfig command

Please give details on the type of install (CDROM, NFS, FTP, etc; GUI or text)
as well as the steps within the install so we can attempt to reproduce the issue.

We all use Etherexpress 100's on our development machines and we have not seen
this issue, so any details you give will help alot.

This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-07-28 15:44:19 UTC
Closing due to inactivity.  Please reopen if you have more information.

Comment 4 Bryan Leopard 2001-07-30 19:13:22 UTC
This was a cdrom installation on the integrated nic.

The nic was set for DHCP during the install.

after the install is done you can login and type lsmod - eepro100 driver listed.
type ifconfig - on lo adapter listed - no eth0.

have not tried static ip yet.

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2001-07-30 22:59:23 UTC
Please try again with beta3  and reopen if this is still a problem.  Network
cards were not getting initialized on non-network installs prior to beta3 if you
didn't change any options
