No, it was not loaded!
 I went to Execute a shell in the installer menu and I did:
lsmod | grep sk98lin
no output, then I did"
modprobe sk98lin
The module loaded:
exit
Went back to installation and the same problem: DHCP autentification failed.
 I guess you're right I should have had phisically opened up the computer and
pulled the other card(PCI) away..in order to make the kernel installer to load
and use the card onboard with sk98lin module...imagine that would have been out
of my expectation...
 So I checked if the other card's module (e100) is up and because it was ..I
just connect the dsl modem to it and: Here you go!! Finally I could manage to
install Flight2 in my machine.

Hope DHCP authentification in installer for a machine with more than one network
card will be fixed until the final release in April.
