The matrix on the wiki page[1] says you need the bnx2 firmware. I
just installed Squeeze on a DL360 and needed the
firmware-bnx2_0.28_all.deb
package[2] to make it work. Copy it to a flash drive then insert it
at the prompt expert installer gives you about installing non-free
firmware after it tries (and fails) to detect the NIC and it Just
Works(tm). Alternatively, there is a cd image with the non-free
drivers included, link can be found on the wiki page.
