Subject: ethernet driver not found during install
Dear All,
I tried to install debian 4.0 rc2 on a dell xps m1330 notebook.
When the install script scans for the network device
I get an error
message, saying that no ethernet device is found, only a firewire device
and asks me weather i want to use this.
i say no and now comes a list with lots of ethernet drivers, i choose
tg3, bcause my ethernet card is a Broadcom (C) NetLink BCM5906M
fast ethernet PCIExpress (rev 02) (that's what i get from lspci | grep
Broadcom in my already installed ubuntu).
however, this does not help, i'm allways redirected to the screen that
tells me, that no ethernet card is found.
i go to the shell then and
~ # lspci | grep Broadcom
and voila,
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corp. Unknown device 1713 (rev 02).
Why is the card not recognized correcly?
Can someone help or redirect me?
Do you need more hw details?
Thanx, Carsten
