The PS3 needs no firmware. It has its own network driver ps3_gelic that must either be built into the kernel or available in the installer's initrd image. It could be a problem with NetworkManager, or whatever is used by the installer, not recognising the PS3's Ether device. -Geoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
