Bug Description

Attempting to install Saucy Server on a Calxeda ARM board (highbank). The installer is failing due what appears to be a lack of network driver.

The installer gets to the point where network devices are detected and there it fails with a "No Network Devices Found" error.

I am unable to complete the install of Saucy because of this.

Do you happen to know if Raring or any other prior releases were able to install on this system? Did it work with earlier Saucy daily builds?
