Matt, I must be missing something ... I'm in the portion of the install
where it lists the "Active Drivers" and "Inactive Drivers" ... in the
Network area under active it is blank (all the other areas are
collapsed) ... in the inactive area after I expand it out I'm listed
with only;

IBM Ethernet cs0
NE100, NE2000, WD/SMC, ethernet ed0
Fujitsu ethernet Fe0
AT&T Staland ie0
Novel lnc0
smz/megahert

I see nothing marked Generic.

When I try doing an ftp to do a network install, it only shows a
PPP/SLIP interface over the com ports, but no network driver available.

I'm starting to feel stupid, what am I missing here?
