Quoting Kent West ([email protected]):

Won't recognize the Broadcom BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe device (although 
lspci does). I found this bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574888

which indicates the problem will be fixed when the installer uses the 
linux-2.6.32-11 kernel. I don't know how to find an installer that uses this 
kernel, so in the meanwhile, I have a totally useless brand new computer. Any 
help?

(July 1st)

Please try using a *daily build* from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer and choose the *netboot*
image (not netinst).


Thank you for the response.

I put a PCI NIC in the box temporarily, just long enough to get around the installation and to the point where I could get the built-in BCM57780 working (albeit I still have to manually tweak the boot process every time I boot to get it to work (rmmod tg3; modprobe broadcom; modprobe tg3; ifup eth0).
