To whom it may concern,
I have an HP Proliant ML370 G6 running Debian Squeeze 64bit, whose
networking card is a NetXen NX3031.
After an OS upgrading to Debian Wheezy, the networking card didn't work
anymore. I found I had to update the networking card flash ROM firmware
and managed to update it; you can see the procedure I followed on this
thread:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=103825&p=497081#p497081 .
On that thread you can find some modifications to the updating scripts
in order to make it compatible with a Debian installation, which could
be of your interest.
Now the network card works using Wheezy kernel (3.2) and Wheezy
firmware-netxen package without problems, but dmesg shows me a "missing
firmware" message:
|[ 1.540062] netxen_nic 0000:06:00.0: firmware: agent aborted
loading nx3fwct.bin (not found?)|
I found that QLogic distributes this driver as a RPM package under
http://ldriver.qlogic.com/firmware/netxen_nic/4.0.588/ , so I converted
the RPM to DEB and installed it using alien;
but at the reboot the dmesg error didn't disappear ( as I wrote on this
thread: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=104086&p=497200 ).
Is it a bug? Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
