+Most PCI and many older ISA network cards are supported.
+Some network interface cards are not supported by most Debian
+installation disks, such as AX.25 cards and protocols; 
+NI16510 EtherBlaster cards; Schneider &amp; Koch G16 cards;
+and the Zenith Z-Note built-in network card. Microchannel (MCA) network
+cards are not supported by the standard installation system, but see 
+<ulink url="&url-linux-mca;">Linux on MCA</ulink> for some (old)
+instructions, and the 
+<ulink url="&url-linux-mca-discussion;">Linux MCA discussion archives</ulink>.
+FDDI networks are also not supported by the installation disks, both
+cards and protocols.

+otherwise unsupported card and then substitute in the installer (see
