Note: It is currently not advisable to install timidity together with the ALSA 0.9 version. timidity insists on in-
stalling the old version of libasound2. The following error message while trying to launch alsamixer is a strong
hint that the old version of libasound2 got installed on top of the newone:
ALSA libasound2 error message:
#> alsamixer
ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
4. 8. Winmodem
The internal modem is again based on the Intel 82801CAM chip in combination with the AC’97.This is one of
these (literally) braindead “winmodems”. According to the Linmodem-HOWTO,this specific spawn of engineer-
ing is not (yet) supported.
4. 9. Ethernet
The ethernet adapter is an Intel 82801CAM (ICH-3) (rev66) controller,which is supported by the EtherEx-
pressPro/100 driver.

Forthe semi-automagic configuration of the ethernet-device, we must have anactive network connection when
we boot the Debian installation system. If this is not the case during the installation of the etherconf package, dp-
kg-reconfigure etherconf is our friend.
Debian packages for ethernet configuration:
etherconf
libconfhelper−perl
liblogfile−rotate−perl
