The broadcom driver isn't included on the installation disk. You can copy it in from any other Ubuntu system and load it during install, or you should have it once you reboot. If you don't have it even after you reboot, I would recommend copying it in, insmodding it, and then installing linux-image-generic right away, which is what you should do anyway...details below. ***************************************** NOTE TO EVERY EDUBUNTU ADMIN: Immediately after you install Edubuntu and reboot, install the 'linux-image-generic' package, make sure it will boot by default (edit /boot/grub/menu.lst), and then reboot again. linux-image-generic will give you SMP support. You will not have SMP support until you install another kernel than the default, and linux-image-generic is the recommended kernel. ***************************************** Details: copy /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko off of another Ubuntu system (install linux-image-2.6.17-10-386 if necessary to get it) onto a thumb drive, then stick that thumb drive into your Edubuntu server. If you're currently installing, ALT+F1 (maybe ALT+F2) will give you a terminal, where you can do something like this: $ cat /proc/partitions "Hmm... /dev/sdb looks like my USB stick. I'll use that." ...this could be /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, etc. $ mkdir /mnt/tmp $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt/tmp $ cp /mnt/bnx2.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/ $ umount /mnt/tmp $ insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko --matt -- Open Source Software Engineering Consultant <A href="http://majen.net/">http://majen.net/</A> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list K12OSN@redhat.com <A href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</A> For more info see <<A href="http://www.k12os.org">http://www.k12os.org</A>> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
