Hardware-specific Notes

Broadcom NetXtreme II network controllers The bnx2 driver for Broadcom NetXtreme II network controllers has been modified to load firmware files from the filesystem. These firmware files are provided in the firmware-bnx2 package in the non-free section of the archive. Systems that require the bnx2 driver must have the firmware-bnx2 package installed to function with the 2.6.24 etch-and-a-half kernel. These devices will not be available at installtime when using a Debian 'lenny'-based installer.

    Clonezilla live stable branch is based on Debian "main", no package is from "non-free" category. The firmware you need is from non-free.
    Please try to use the experimental clonezilla live, which is based on Ubuntu.
