Support of the Broadcom BCM57785 (PCI ID 14e4:16b5) was introduced in the tg3 driver at Linux 2.6.34. > I suppose it is simply not included in the Squeeze image i386 CD-Rom I > used. Yes, Debian 6.0.2.1 installation media will not support your device; support is anticipated for the upcoming 6.0.3 point release. > My questions is does Debian propose a package supporting Ethernet > card Broadcom BCM57785 ? For device support during and after Debian installation, you would need to use an unofficial installer (containing a backported Linux kernel) at this time, see [1] for further details. For an established system (with an alternate form of connectivity), you can use either a backported linux-image package from Debian Backports [2], or a linux-image package proposed for the 6.0.3 point release [3].
