The new IBM 3650 m3 requires Debian and the latest Debian 507 network installation disk.
A file called bnx2-09-4.0.5.fw was missing when scanning the hardware
The first time Debian was installed, I found that there were few files. I checked it carefully. It turns out that this no-free file cannot be placed on the installation disk because of copyright issues.
Go to the Debian website and find
Http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/lenny/current/
Download the firmware.zip file. Of course, you can also download the .tar.gz file.
Uncompress the package, which has a firmware-bnx2_0.14 + lenny2_all.deb
Copy this file to a previously installed Debian system.
Ar VX firmware-bnx2_0.14 + lenny2_all.deb
Get three files
Tar xvzf data.tar.gz
Then you can find it in the LIB/firmware directory.
Bnx2-09-4.0.5.fw
Put this file on a USB flash drive. Pay attention to "fat ".
Continue to install. This time, we found the network card and continued to install it. There was no problem in the subsequent process.
