On a Toshiba Portege 3500 with a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI card.
I've googled and hit the forums but none of the dapper wireless issues
seem relevant from what I can tell.
I first noticed the issue when booting and it hung on "Loading
hardware drivers" and then on "Configuring Network Interfaces". I hit
ctrl-c on both the get it to boot. Ethernet works fine.
lspci doesn't reveal any wireless card, but
tslater at hermes:~$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "TOSHIBA", "Wireless LAN Card", "Version 01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
no product info available
Socket 2:
no product info available
After trying to configure wireless and running /etc/init.d/networking restart:
eth1: unknown hardware address type 801
eth1: unknown hardware address type 801
