Zacariaz Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I've been trying to figure out how to do a NetInst of Debian 4. 0 Etch using my Wireless connection. Now the problem is of course that the Debian installer does not include driver and stuff for your wireless devices, and after that I'm lost. I cannot understand why this is so hard, but i have asked a lot around, without getting a positive answer. Now this is not that important, but is a challenge i think.

Regards as far as I know this will be just about imposable is there no way you can plug in via cable just to do the install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Can't you just make a custom installer with the wi-fi support foy your card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something like that i was thinking, however i have no idea what soever how. For reasons hard to explain i can connect via cable. NB: wireless device is: Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I really wouldn't recommend a wireless network install of any OS to be honest, its slower, harder to config, prone to crap-outs and a all around general bad idea. For a purely academic project it would be interesting, but not for production imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacariaz Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 i agree, but bad idea or not, its the only way atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ok then, like Horza said just roll your own custom installer with the wireless drivers added and a script to connect to your AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
