[Bug 70507] Re: Xubuntu installer does not detect 3com 3c509 ISA ethernet card

Wed Jan 2 12:55:59 UTC 2008

This bug is still present in the Gutsy installer.

Workaround: when the error message comes up saying that no networking
hardware has been detected, press Ctrl-Alt-F2 in order to switch to
another tty. Press enter to activate it. Enter the command "modprobe
3c509". Verify that the module has indeed been loaded using lsmod.

Switch back to the installer by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1. Ignore the error
message and proceed with configuring the network. Worked for me.
