Description Gene Czarcinski 2001-08-18 21:17:31 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Normally, the install process recognizes that the natsemi NIC driver is needed.

This was a network install.  When I specified the natsemi driver,
everything went OK.

How Reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do an NFS install specifying that the driver disk ("dd") is needed.
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
had to manually specify the driver

Expected Results:
auto-recognition

Additional Information:
Roswell-1 auto-recognized.

lspci -v output?
Comment 2 Gene Czarcinski 2001-08-19 09:49:50 UTC 
The problem seems to occur with any NIC which needs the driver disk (e.g.,
pcnet32 also).

This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2001-08-29 19:28:16 UTC 
The driver disk always prompts for which driver you want to use.  Note that they
were autoloading before because they were on bootnet which does do probing (more
on natsemi on 52511 in a minute...)
