[Intel-wired-lan] [intel-linux] Intel NIC modules completely broken on latest Debian testing netinst image

[Fujinaka, Todd]

We don't support Debian and they've been having issues with our drivers lately. I bet if you boot off of an Ubuntu live disk things will be fine.

I've just seen Debian picking problematic kernels quite often. You can also try any stable kernel from kernel.org as well.
