To whom it may concern, I have an HP Proliant ML370 G6 running Debian Squeeze 64bit, whose networking card is a NetXen NX3031. After an OS upgrading to Debian Wheezy, the networking card didn't work anymore. I found I had to update the networking card flash ROM firmware and managed to update it; you can see the procedure I followed on this thread: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=103825&p=497081#p497081 . On that thread you can find some modifications to the updating scripts in order to make it compatible with a Debian installation, which could be of your interest. Now the network card works using Wheezy kernel (3.2) and Wheezy firmware-netxen package without problems, but dmesg shows me a "missing firmware" message:
I found that QLogic distributes this driver as a RPM package under http://ldriver.qlogic.com/firmware/netxen_nic/4.0.588/ , so I converted the RPM to DEB and installed it using alien; but at the reboot the dmesg error didn't disappear ( as I wrote on this thread: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=104086&p=497200 ). Is it a bug? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you -- Maurizio De Santis DEVELOPMENT MANAGER Morgan S.p.A.
