Configuration issue detected on PowerEdge R510 device.
Hi, I understand your situation. You're using a PowerEdge R510 server with almost all firmware updated to the latest version. You had Windows installed before switching to Debian 9 for web hosting. Normally, networking setup is handled, but Linux can be tricky. You mentioned an error saying "The cable is connected to the server," which seems confusing since it worked on Windows. Your two Ethernet ports (ENO1 and ENO2) are connected to the router, but they don't function properly on Linux. This isn't a problem with your server or router itself, but rather with how Linux handles networking. I can help you troubleshoot further.
First install it, then configure the network. You won’t need a network connection during installation. It seems you might have chosen the incorrect adapter.
I also reinstalled it five times. I use both methods. It functions on Windows, but not on Linux.
I just secured the funding for this. Debian removed the bnx2 driver from their repos because it's proprietary and marked as non-free. This left me without support for my network card, likely preventing Debian installation or leaving me offline with no way to download packages. I had to get my system up and running. Some say Linux is simple, but that’s not true. I might try Ubuntu instead. I only really like Debian and Ubuntu.
Functioning well on Ubuntu. The issue remains unresolved in Debian. I truly enjoy Debian, but for now, I’ll stick with Ubuntu.
Debian... Even Linus Torvalds, the Linux kernel's developer, struggles with it
Debian isn't seen as particularly beginner-friendly among Linux distros, and they tend to resist non-free software. Ubuntu, Mint, and Elementary offer a more straightforward experience with greater flexibility. If you prefer Debian, you can transfer the driver package from another machine and install it yourself using sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file
When it functions on Ubuntu, the issue likely stems from Debian rather than general Linux. That's what I mean...
