NIC for ML370 G6 that works with Debian "Lenny"
I would like to identify an HP NIC with 1 or 2 ports that will work with Debian "Lenny". Can anyone running such a config send me the HP part #?
Thanks in advance.

Any Intel GB NIC that fits the server will work.
The server has built in NIC card does it not? They don't work?

No This Server did not come with an on board NIC. It is a ML370 G6 that came with a Quad Port NIC which did not work at all.
I got it up and running with the D-Link card I had but that is failing and I would prefer to replace it with an HP NIC so that I can keep the server under warranty.
Thanks in advance.

In theory, if you have a mostly working NIC in there, you could apt-get install the non-free firmware and be able to enable your core NICs without a re-install. Just to re-iterate - I am making an assumption about the problem you are encountering with the ML370 G6. If the issue is a missing driver in addition to missing non-free firmware then you would need the driver too...

Re: NIC for ML370 G6 that works with Debian "Lenny"
It is more likely that the netxen_nic driver in Debian 5.0 is just too old to support your card.
You can try installing a 2.6.32 kernel from backports.org. This kernel is a backport of the kernel targeted for Debian 6.0 'squeeze'. If you do, and this doesn't detect your NIC, please provide the output of dmesg so we can take a look
On the other hand, if you are tied to the 2.6.26 kernel in lenny, you might have better luck with a NIC based on the Intel 82575EB chip. Support for these cards was added in one of the 5.0.x releases. Apologies that I don't have a part number list for these cards.
