The weird thing is that the desktop version installs the bnx2 module just fine and brings up the NIC cards, I get IP assignments for both of them. Indeed I have tried both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate and both of them bring the NIC cards on line using the bnx2 driver.
I was looking at the server install info and supposedly I should be able to proceed with the install and if I need more software install it later, but it will NOT allow me to get past the network setup. So that is FUBAR'd. Also I see the bnx2 module in there but for some reason it does not become active. Both NIC cards are labeled as disabled. I will continue to plug at it until I get it fixed. It just appears to be some sort of issue with the server install, who would want to run a desktop install on a box like that. It sounds like a wind tunnel and it will keep the room warm so I will not need to run the heat in the winter time in this room (were I to keep it here) These things are just big, but the make great DVR boxen for high res cameras on Zoneminder.
