Add Network Driver for support HP Gen9 #25

Closed jimmy-ppy closed 8 years ago

jimmy-ppy commented 9 years ago

Kickstart on HP Proliant DL360 Gen9 don't working because MicroKernel don't have BCM driver.

I guess I'm confused, the model you mention (the HP Proliant DL360 Gen9) appears to be a rack-mounted server, but you need to add a WiFi driver in order to successfully iPXE-boot the machine? From the network card that I see in the specs for that machine, it seems that either the drivers in the firmware_broadcom_bnx2.tcz package or the drivers in the firmware_broadcom_bnx2x.tcz package should work (both of which are included in the existing Microkernel) since it's a BroadCom NetXtreme card; am I wrong?

Given recent changes to this project (which moved from a TCL-based Microkernel to a Docker-based Microkernel), I'm going to close this PR out as no longer relevant (it's focus is on modifying the build process for an ISO we're no longer building to add support for a driver where it wasn't entirely clear why that particular driver was needed). Thanks for the input, @jimmy-ppy, and apologies for the delays in revisiting this PR.
