Well going by what the kernel says (or the driver I guess) it would appear that it works without firmware, but you don't get any of the offloading capabilities. Now if there are issues with udhcpc, I vaguely recall reading that it does NOT handle renewing and that if your dhcp server hands out an address for a short time or you loose the link temporarily or something like that, you may loose your address and it won't come back by itself. The idea seems to be that an install never takes long enough for that to be a problem. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#598119: Same behaviour with actual squeeze installer
Hi Bernhard, this is quite puzzling, digging a bit more in the syslog you provided: Oct 25 14:11:17 kernel: [ 85.468831] tg3 :02:00.0: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso5.bin Oct 25 14:11:17 kernel: [ 85.470798] eth0: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg3_tso5.bin" Oct 25 14:11:17 kernel: [ 85.470801] eth0: TSO capability disabled. Oct 25 14:11:17 kernel: [ 85.598661] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Oct 25 14:11:19 kernel: [ 87.151448] tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. Oct 25 14:11:19 kernel: [ 87.151452] tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX. Oct 25 14:11:19 kernel: [ 87.151495] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready Oct 25 14:11:21 udhcpc: Got IP 192.168.178.26 (using eth0) and routing through 192.168.178.1 Oct 25 14:11:23 netcfg[7285]: INFO: DHCP hostname: "RBG-NB" Oct 25 14:11:23 netcfg[7285]: INFO: Detected eth0 as a hotpluggable device Oct 25 14:11:23 main-menu[354]: (process:7284): udhcpc (v1.17.1) started Oct 25 14:11:23 main-menu[354]: (process:7284): Sending discover...

I confess that after seeing the complains on the missing fw for both devices, if one was set up it should be firewire. But no, it seems you still have wired network even without firwmare. Anyone?

Hello Miguel > you seem to have 2 network cards. > One wifi (Intel IPW2200) and a wired network card (Tigon3 > [partno(BCM95788A50) > rev 3003]). That's right. I want to install Debian with help of the wired network card. > The installer also suports loading external firmware you can see the > instructions on the manual (http://d- > i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch02s02.html)I0m Interesting is: The network card works at the beginning of the installation: The autmatic network setup works: There was an ip-address received via DHCP. But, after partitioning the hard-disk, eth0 is down. > Isn't debian installer great? :) Yes, that's right. Thanks for the great work. > Closing this bug as Debian don't distribute non-free software and already > provides the capability to load firmware. OK. > Personnal note: as a customer feel free to choose hardware supported with > free > software and express your feelings on closed source firmware to the > manufacturer of your equipments/devices. Thanks for the hint. This Notebook was manufactured 2004. At this time, i have started with Linux. 2004, i had no experience with firmware and other closed-source software for Linux.

For the lenny installation, i use the same mirror (ftp.de.debian.org). In the attachement, there is the syslog. The last messages was written because of plug-in my Sandisk USB stick. If you need more informations, please let me know. Thank you for the great work. Kind Regards Bernhard syslog.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data

The error you are getting is a failure to download the "Release" file from the mirror you are using. Are you able to check if the network is working? Any suspicious message on the 2nd terminal window? Please send gzipped syslog from installation. -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo http://www.DebianPT.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
