Hey everyone. We have a new Dell power edge T410 server here and I really wanted to put Ubuntu Server on it... but so far it has been difficult to get along with. :popcorn:
The installer would not recognize the SATA DVD drive and failed with "No common CDROM drive found". I got on past this by installing from a external USB DVD drive. During the installation it failed to find the network card but completed anyway. I now have a booting system and sitting at the command prompt, but no network as of yet. This system has a dual interface, on motherboard, NIC.
lshw -C network shows 2 x broadcom controllers "UNCLAIMED"
lspci shows 2 x "Broadcom Corporation Unknown Device 163b (rev 20)"
I have tried modprobe tg3 and modprobe bnx2 but have not had any luck yet getting the interface to actually come up.
Has anyone any tips for this? I would change the network card but do not have any PCI eXpress NICs around at the moment and this system has no PCI slots... Help! :confused:
