Hi Bruno,

thanks for infos about Broadcom being in non-free.
I think I didn't give the best specific advice -- that seems to be to
use 6.0.3 when it comes out as the kernel will have the right driver.
That or use a backports version.
In the past with some servers ... I've had broadcom network devices and
those were able to be used with non-free firmware. It looks like other
advice for your particular NIC is in order, ie using an alternate *not*
non-free driver, tg3 in this case.
I tried the unofficial image you mentionned.
However got same problem : the Ethernet Broadcom card is not recognized.
I suppose it is not include in this unofficial netinst CD.
From there possible solutions looks like :
- does exist other unofficial image which included Broadcom drivers ?
- complete the installation using an official image (so without network
connection), and after manually install the Broadcom driver (eg.via USB
key). If this is possible how / where can iI grab the Broadcom driver ?
eg.via file module .ko or via a Debian package ?
- other solutions ?
Read the other posts, Geoff's and Camaleón's they have good answers /
info too.
Thanks for your attention.
You are welcome.
Cheers
A.
