Hi, I read that proprietary drivers were removed from Debian kernel 2.6.29 onwards, and this may be one of them.
Do you think Wheezy version will work on it? I must be 100% sure before rebooting. bye, Mustafa http://mustafa.aldemir.net ________________________________ From: Selim T.

And looking at the description for firmware-linux-free, I see "Intel C600 SAS/SATA controller default parameters, version 1.3 (isci/isci_firmware.bin)" However, it looks like the squeeze version of firmware-linux-free doesn't include it, so you can try installing the wheezy version of that package (or alternatively, download the wheezy .deb, extract the firmware file you want, and put it in /lib/firmware/isci/ manually). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
