  The network interface is using the bnx2x driver:

  root@quenv:~# lspci |grep -i broadcom
  0003:0e:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

  0003:0e:00.3 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

  
  Since Ubuntu 15.10  is working, but 14.04.3 is not, can someone check to see if there are some driver fixes that need to be backported?

  == Comment: #2 - David Heller <hellerda@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2015-06-25 19:18:01 ==
  You are probably correct: there may be some patches that need to be backported.  But it's not clear whether it's a bnx2x driver issue just yet.  I say that because of recent bug 122410 and bug 122009 which found some things lacking in the "linux-firmware" package.  Can you please check your logs to see if you have the same error messages seen there, regarding cannot load firmware?

  At the point the install fails you should be able to "go back" and
  then "execute a shell", and then you can tail your /var/log/syslog and
  see if you see those messages, or whatever the issue is you should see
  some evidence there.  You also should be able to run "lsmod", "modinfo
  bnx2x" and "ip link" from the installer shell so please collect that
  as well.

  If you can get the system booted into 14.04,3, perhaps by installing
  over a different NIC, you could check these things and the linux-
  firmware package level also.  When I logged into your node it was
  already booted into 15.10, so I went ahead and collected the info
  there.  If you could do the same for 14.04,3 we can compare.  With
  that, and the install log information, we should be able to see what
  the problem is.  Thx.
