install woes with BCM5721

["dr.bob" <dr.bobik@gmail.com>]

Using the current netinstall image for debian-amd64..
The system is a dual xeon server by Fujitsu-SIemens, the installer
selected kernel 2.6.8-10-em64t-p4.
Installed the base system successfully, cannot get the network to operate :(

The system has 2 BCM5721 NICs, as reported by lspci -v:

0000:04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme

The relevant dmesg output is:

tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.


ifconfig reports:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:05:82:02:4F  
          inet addr:193.0.87.15  Bcast:193.0.87.127  Mask:255.255.255.128

BUT.. there is no connectivity. ping -b on the local network address
receives responses
only from eth0's IP. Needless to say apt can't connect to any debian
mirror to complete
the install.

WTF???
