The bnx2x driver was disabled in lenny due to its use of non-free firmware. I have put together a patch that would reenable this driver in lenny's 2.6.26 kernel, making use of the firmware split-out patch that has gone upstream in Linux 2.6.31-rc releases (and is currently in use in the linux-2.6 2.6.30 packages in sid).
I'd like to see if we can enable the use of this driver in 5.0.3. As far as I can tell, the necessary steps would be: - Update the kernel (obviously) - planned for a p-u upload this week - Backport the necessary changes for firmware-nonfree from sid to add the firmware-bnx2x package - Update kernel-wedge/stable to include bnx2x if available (are there space issues here?) - Update d-i in 5.0.3 to incorporate this driver -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
