Re: Problem with Driver!
Hi Matt / Yashar,
I have got a problem with Network controller on HP ProLiant DL380 G7 E5620
and HP ProLiant DL380 G6 E5504.
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).
Unfortunately I have the same problem on a Dell machine and have never gotten it to "Just work" :-(
Alternatively, there is a cd image with the non-free
drivers included, link can be found on the wiki page.
Yes, use that. The direct link to the current version is on the page
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/
Just below the listing for all "normal" CD/DVD/BR images is a section for the Netinst with the
non-free images for amd64, i386 and powerpc.

I was unable to find that link on the wiki page.
Bonno
