ASTlinux-1.1.0-asterisk-11.2.1 Does Not Find Broadcom Gigabit NIC on HPt5740e Thin Client (also tried astlinux-1.1.0-asterisk-1.8.20.1.img.gz).
In all other respects it loads fine. But it isn't all that useful without an ethernet connection. Details: Image "astlinux-1.1.0-asterisk-11.2.1.img.gz" loaded fine with NO probs on an HPt5730; that system is now up and switching calls. But in loading it on the t5740e (a newer, faster machine, with about twice the core and flash) there was no access to the Broadcom NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit NIC. (The 5740e Broadcom NIC worked fine with the stock OS, Win7Embedded.)

The t5740e's are nice, clean, machines; and it would be very nice be able to run AST on them.
