That is odd as the daily builds of the installer already use that kernel and you said those failed... Could you double check that please? You only need to run the installation as far as network configuration, so you don't need to overwrite your existing install: just abandon the installation before partitioning. Please check output of dmesg if the installer still fails to recognize your nic. > 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation > NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:167a] (rev 02) This device should get automatically detected as needed tg3 if you use daily images.
