Thanks Norbert for quick reply. Probably, I can install these drivers by hand. Since I am using headless installation I would appreciate if I could make these drivers available part of CD / DVD itself. so that installation does not stop saying that "network interface is not detected" and drivers are silently installed if this possible.
Thanks. --RR On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 8:52 PM, Norbert Kiszka <[email protected]> wrote: > Dnia 2011-04-07, czw o godzinie 20:40 +0530, Ravi Roy pisze: > > Sorry, by mistake I missed to add debian-boot list... > > > > It is It is "Broadcom NetXtreme II gigabit adapter" > > > > > > On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 8:27 PM, Norbert Kiszka <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > Dnia 2011-04-07, czw o godzinie 20:24 +0530, Ravi Roy pisze: > > > > > I am using Lenny point release 5.0.8 netinstall to install > > base system > > > with kernel version (2.6.32).
