Re: [Xen-users] HVM Squeeze in domu without network

[Andrew McGlashan <andrew.mcglashan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sam,

I think the problem is that the network driver you require is in 
non-free and no longer part of a standard Squeeze ISO file.
You can add in non-free firmware, see the attached scripts.

Here was my original source on this:

http://dannf.org/bloggf/tech/add-firmware-to.html


More info here too, with some unofficial images referenced:

Cheers
