Bug#387572: fai-kernels: please enable bnx2

2006-09-15 Thread Harald Staub
Package: fai-kernels
Version: 1.12
Severity: wishlist

bnx2 (CONFIG_BNX2) is used by the onboard NICs of several of the newer HP
ProLiants, e.g. DL 360 G5, so it might become quite common. Please enable it.

Cheers
 Harry

These ProLiants are capable to run both architectures, and we use both.
Sid's normal Debian kernels for amd64, like linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64,
now support AMD and Intel CPUs (there was a time with a special em64t
flavour for 64b-capable Intel CPUs). I suppose that similarly, the
fai-kernels package, architecture amd64, supports AMD and Intel. So bnx2 is
helpful for both architectures.

Cheers
 Harry
