Joseph: No, Sorry for being confusing :) I think the problem with installing the precise kernel alone on Lucid was a problem. Perhaps there are other things (libraries, for example) that would also need to be installed in order to get that working properly.
So here is what I have tried and the status of each: Lucid (10.04.4) - does not work, no support in be2net for this controller, apparently (or broken support) Lucid w/ Maverick backport kernel - fixes the issue Lucid w/ Oneiric backport kernel - fixes the issue (verified this since this is the current recommended backport for Lucid) Precise (12.04) - works out of the box on a fresh 12.04 install Upstream kernel - dpkg complains about libc6 version and there was no way to update to the version the upstream packages wants. I got around this by using --force-depends-version and booted into the upstream kernel. This also worked and I verified manually by pulling a DVD from cdimages.ubuntu.com through the FlexFabric adapter.u@bl465-g7:~$ uname -a Linux bl465-g7 3.5.0-030500rc3-generic #201206162135 SMP Sun Jun 17 01:36:04 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux u@bl465-g7:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
