This problem is almost a year old, Squeeze is frozen, and it still exists?!? I just downloaded todays daily netinst snapshot and I still can't install on my laptop with a BCM57780 card. The broadcom driver is not in the cd immage , nor is it in the firmware package, so there is no way to work around this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Ah, great, so this can be closed once the installer uses this version
of linux-2.6.

This issue was reported in bug #553024 - also concerning a Broadcom
Netlink BCM57780 - and fixed in linux-2.6 2.6.32-11 ("phylib: Support
PHY module autoloading").
