I had a similar problem when I tried to install Debian from the
network. I don't think Debian ships with the network drivers that are
required for the Timeline series (non-free drivers, or something),
which sadly makes the network install moot. I'm not totally sure,
though. Debian has a wiki page here:
http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Acer/Aspire_Timeline_4810T.
>From what I see, you need an internet connection to solve the
problem. You could load the drivers onto a flash drive from another
computer and then install them in debian, possibly. You would probably
need a full system for that, though.

Hey guys!
I want to install Debian on my Acer 3810T, and I'm having
problems. It looks like network hardware (both, ethernet and
wireless) doesn't work with stable versions. The hardware is
compatible with unstable installer, so I created a bootable
netboot installer in a usb stick (my laptop does not have a cd/dvd
device), and I tried to install with it. While the installer does
recognize the hardware, I can't get the network working. The
installer warns that my network doesn't support dhcp (which is
false), and it doesn't work if I set up the network manually. Same
happens for both adapters.
I have Ubuntu currently installed, and the network works (more or
less) well.
Does anyone experienced the same problem, or does anyone know a
better way to install Debian on this laptop?
Thank you so much,
Marc
