Hello, Debian with the FreeBSD kernel seems an excellent combination to test and eventually use it seriously on some of our servers.
I installed Debian/kFreeBSD using the netinstall CDROM image, but unfortunately the necessary network interface driver was not included. So I ended with a really minimal system and no network. All our 64-bit systems (AMD64 architecture) have either the Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection (if_em.ko module) or Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (if_bce.ko module) network interface cards. As I understand that the current install CDROM/DVD set is not complete (it falls back to netinstall), a full install from CDROM is not a possible path forward to compile our own kernel with the required network interface drivers. So here is my request. Are there if_bce.ko (most preferably) or if_em.ko available out there? Could someone provide them (to me) for the kernel (kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64) on the Debian/kFreeBSD netinstall image debian-6.0.1a-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso? Or even better, is it possible to include the if_bce.ko and if_em.ko with the kernel on the netinstall image? I think these network interface cards are quite common with servers, and hopelfully this will increase the install base of Debian/kFreeBSD. Thank you for all the good work! Best, -- Benno -- Benno J.
