Description
I am trying provision old HP blade servers gen8 with Tinkerbell but HookOS is missing the network drivers.
I wonder if those config options could be enabled:
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_EMULEX=y
CONFIG_BE2NET=y
CONFIG_BE2NET_HWMON=y
CONFIG_BE2NET_BE2=y
CONFIG_BE2NET_BE3=y
CONFIG_BE2NET_LANCER=y
CONFIG_BE2NET_SKYHAWK=y
Thanks!
