Debian on HP DL380 etc. Servers?

Netinstall, installing as usual, and then, fail! No network!

Of course, it turns out that the needed Broadcom NetXtreme II driver (bnx2) is in the non-free repository, aka not included on the installations cd’s

After googleing around, finding all those 37 easy step bla bla to replace and add deb files on the installation media, too tired to do such things after a 12 hour work day

Finally, found that Debian supply non-free media too!

You find them here:
