Bug#149698: bcm5700 driver
Hi,
I just went through the same trouble yesterday with a Dell 2650 PowerEdge.
I was able to successfully boot from the 2.4 boot floppies, but then I had
to compile the bcm5700 driver on a separate machine using the
bcm5700-source package. This was a major PITA, because I didn't at first
realize that I had to compile with "--append-to-version -bf2.4" or
something like that. Also, the "Load foreign modules" option on the BF
didn't seem to work, so I had to copy the driver to the target
installation.
To sum up, I also would like to request that bcm5700 be compiled as one of
the boot-floppies modules by default.
(No RAID on our system, so at least I got to avoid that trouble.)
