13 Yep, this works, thank you! I did not search for this driver
14 in 10/100mbit, because manual says it is 1gbit. Does it mean
15 this net-adapter is working only as 100mbit in linux? Anyway
16 it does not matter. My internet connection is not that fast...

18 Just one more surprise:
19 During installation before chrooting I copied resolv.conf
20 to new system, as advised in handbook (chapter 6.a. Chrooting).
21 But after I first booted freshly installed system, I found out
22 that /etc/resolv.conf is empty, just saying something like:
23
24 # Generated by net-scripts for interface eth0
25 domain mydomain
26
27 Nothing else. So I edited this file, included nameservers, and
28 again, after booting it is empty. I went through handbook once
29 again, carefully checked chapter "8.b. Networking information",
30 but there is no info about this strange "feature".
31 Did I do something wrong during installation???
