Hello there.

Quite a while ago I had a bug-report about the Attansic NIC (atl1.ko) driver
not being available during installation -- and I doubt it's the only one.

This is still the case in Beta2 and I very much doubt it has changed in Beta3,
but I have not had a chance to get Beta3 yet.

Would you please make sure the installation initrd contains *all* NIC modules
of the current kernel so network installation and/or network repository
addition is possible on all supported systems? It seems weird that all
network-stuff is fine after installation but because of this issue in the
initrd you cannot add the network repos during installation.

This is all the more important now that 1-CD installs are available.
