Mageia forum

Hello I want to install mageia 2 to facility Alcasar on a server HP proliant DL380G5.
but when I install it does not find the network card, and I'm stuck.
anyone have any idea about it.
thank you for your back because I'm stuck.

yes, i think so

HP DL series use the broadcomm server chipset, I have the same series of chipset in my workstation.

in mageia2 I had to download and install the broadcomm firmware which was missing.

in mageia 3 the missing firmware has been resolved.

run dmesg |grep -i firmware, and it will tell you what file is missing if im right.

here is where the firmware is on one of our dl380g6's where i work

/lib/firmware/2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw

this is under redhat , but a similar path should be found on mageia2, but with a 3.x kernel.

the messages you should see should not be a million miles away from

although thats also redhat , but it should be similarish......
