Bug#402762: debian-installer dosen't detect Broadcom BCM5704 Gigabit LAN

2006-12-21 Thread Serge Koganovitsch
Hi,

I have the exact same problem ...

According to the FAQ 
(http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FAQ#head-d2b370740516f1e113719a733d9
ecb324f61ff4f), 
the tg3 firmware does not meet the requirements of the DFSG.

The version of the driver included in the debian kernel should work with 
*most* cards ... but apparently not with the BCM5704 :-(

Best regards,

Serge

Hi,

This seems to be solved with the latest version of the kernel (2.6.18). 
I installed a custom sarge iso, then upgraded to etch with the K7 
version of the 2.6.18 kernel. It works !

The one shipped with Debian Installer rc1 is 2.6.17. Probably, the daily 
build installer already incorporates the 2.6.18 kernel.

Best regards,

Serge

It does indeed.

Hallo,

is there any chance of fixing this before stable release? Or is it able 
to force installer somehow to detect the NIC?


Peter

Please provide the output of `lspci -nn` It would be nice if you only
provided the lspci entry of the network card.

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20061102

I'm trying to install Debian Etch at TYAN GT24 (2891) server machine. 
Installer dosen't detect the onboard Broadcom BCM5704 ethernet. Since 
the Linux kernel dos have the driver (tg3 AFAIK), I wonder why the card 
isn't detected. Even if I specify the driver from the list, it dosen't 
detect the card.


I tested with SUSE 10 and it detects the NICs with no problems.
