Hmm... I was still at work, so I couldn't be drunk... The only reasonable conclusion is that I should work less... Omer - apologies. I remember using those tg drivers in the past so I was surprised to hear of the need to load firmware from external media. I never had to do anything like that installing Linux, and I always thought it was a Windows "feature" (fond memories of, e.g., QLogic HBA firmware are quietly melting away to a melancholic tune). I find|grepped the kernel source to check my sanity and it was there... So, it's a Debian thing then? They remove such stuff from the kernel - even though it is in the vanilla tree - because it is binary? Right? Can one install Debian on a computer with such a card if the firmware needs to be downloaded (i.e., there is no DoK with it and it is not on the instalation media) and there is no other computer to access the net with? Just curious. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
