Compaq with NC7781 NIC

["Daniel Fabian" <mailinglists@fabiand.net>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install debian on a compaq server with an nc7781 nic-card. The
driver for linux can be downloaded from
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/networking/nics/Compaq_NC7781_Gigabi
t_Ethernet_NICs.html, but unfortunatly this is only a srpm for suse and
redhat.

I downloaded the precompiled module for Woody from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ and during the installation
process I switched to the console and copied bmc5700.o to
/usr/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/net. When I tried to load the modules I got
the errormessage "init_module: no such device". However I know for sure that
there is a NC7781 in the server.

Does anyone know what I have to do to enable the NIC?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
