Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
The atl1e.ko (Attansic Technology Gigabit Ethernet) module is missing in the default initrd although it's present on an installed system in /lib/modules/
This chipset is present in the latest Asus EEE that we are trying to use as thin clients, that missing module make them to kernel panic (unable to mount /) when trying to mount / from the network.
Is there a good reason for it not to be included in the initrd or is that just a bug of whatever chooses what to put in the initrd ?
Adding it to /etc/initramfs-

I'm reassigning this to the linux package. I think a typo was made in debian/ d-i/modules/ nic-modules for bug 273904 . It looks like bug 273904 added "atle" to the nic-modules files when it really should have been "atl1e". I'm also going to open an Intrepid nomination to fix this. Thanks.
