Current d-i on XServe

[Chris Burdess <dog@bluezoo.org>]

Hi

I've been trying to install Debian (etch beta 2 d-i netinst) on a  
recent XServe (RackMac3,1 with 2 Broadcom 5704 Gigabit network  
adapters).

During boot all goes well but it won't recognise the network adapter 
(s). After the ifconfig step, ifconfig -a states that eth0 is  
configured, but "Link encap" reads "unknown", and the HWAddr is not  
an ethernet MAC address, it's a series of about 12 2-digit hex  
numbers separated by spaces. I tried to configure eth1 without success.

Have there been any reported problems with the drivers for this  
network adapter? Could something else be the matter?
