I am using an IBM x3650 7979 that i believe has a netextreme network card.
On install of Debian Squeeze - I get the following messege:
the missing firmware files are: bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j3.fw
does anyone know how i can get around this ?
Make the network card be seen during install ? or after install ?
I have located a file bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j3.fw in the debian repository.
But do not know how to or when to use it ?
thanks

http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware
In brief, you need to install "firmware-bnx2" package from the non-free
repository.

the non-free archive and get it in your usual way. During an install put
the .deb on a USB stick. The Debian wiki will have more on catering for
firmware.
