RE: HP DL180 G6 with Debian Lenny
Hi,
The G5 serie indeed uses the broadcom network card.
The BNX2 driver I already build back in.
The G6 serie usually uses the E1000 driver.
The strange thing is that I see it in the list of available drivers but it's
not being used.
Knoppix live cd, debian testing live cd and a rescue system I use, all say
that it's an Intel Gigabit card which uses the e1000 driver.
With all these live cd's the network card is detected and I can use it.
Also Ubuntu 9.04 installer recognizes the network card ( 8.04 & 8.10 don't )
Regards,
Richard Pijnenburg

This might be a broadcom network card (usually used in HP DL), some time
around 2.6.28 ( i think) the firmware got removed from the install this
could be your problem
not sure if the below install help with that :)
