Bug#1056697: 12.2 Installation Report, Complete Failure of Network

Extracting /var/log/syslog would be useful to understand what's going on
there. A very quick search suggests this card might be supported by the
tg3 module (drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c), which is definitely
shipped in the installer. So maybe it's something that needs tweaking or
fixing on the firmware side (e.g. “modprobe dance”), or a missing
auxiliary bus (e.g. mhi) to make the card visible. Hard to tell without
any logs.


Cheers,
