Unrecognized NIC - Server 2008 Ent x86 - DL380 G2

[Aaron.S]

I am trying to install Server 2008 Enterprise x86 on a DL380 G2.

It managed the entire installation process just fine. PXE booting, Altiris scripted install over the LAN off a SAN storage unit. When it finished installing, it no longer recognized it's NICs.

So now the DL380 G2 cannot connect to the network though it quite happily was installed over that very same network.

What drivers do I need? Can I force install the puportedly correct driver?

This is becoming increasingly frustrating as logically it should be a straightforward matter and easily resolved.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

The HP website reveals no W2K8 drivers for this model which implies that is not supported. You could try W2K3 driver from here:
