that Debian Wheezy installer asks for during the installation--I put the drivers on a USB stick, as the installer asks for, but nothing happens! The installer asks for the drivers again! ??<br><br>3) How should I supply the driver for the onboard, built in Ethernet controller ( Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit<br>Ethernet )? Do I have to re-configure the kernel? (Goodness forbid!)<br><br>4) I found out that there is a USB connector on my cable modem. I connected it to the box, it gets recognized as eth1 during the installation process as such, but--again--how do I get the drivers installed?
