Package: ethernet-card-detection
Severity: critical
It is not possible to bring Gigaswift (aka Cassini) ethernet cards online and therefore continue installation on SunFire V440 (UltraSparc IIIi) when I use boot.img placed in the following directory of debian archives:
/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/ 2.6/
The installation fails during network detection process with the following dump:
Apr 4 21:40:00 main-menu[2937]: DEBUG: configure ethernet-card- detection, status: 0 Apr 4 21:40:00 main-menu[2937]: DEBUG: virtual package ethernet-card- detection

The cards are recognized by the driver. Driver has explicitly mentioned that MAC address are not set in some kind of firmware memory (?)
Mentioned boot.img uses kernel 2.6.15-1, this bug was probably solved in 2.6.16, so this is something to be checked and boot.img file is to be updated. 

I'm ready to test this problem again upon your request.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
