Title:
  d-i fails network detection on servers with BNXII NICs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The BNXII chipset is fairly common in server hardware.  I've  been
  attempting to perform PXE/Preseed installs on servers in the Canonical
  datacenter to do some testing of quantal on server hardware.

  On systems that have BNXII based NICs however, the preseed install
  always halts at the "Detect Network Hardware" phase.  On each system I
  can access via the KVM and see the generic "Something failed during
  install" message in d-i.  Hitting OK takes me to the task list with
  "Detect Network" or whatever it's called highlighted.

  I click OK to re-run the network detection stuff manually and I get a
  new message telling me I need proprietary firmware files to operate.
  See the attached screenshot for the actual error message.

  This is a regression as this has not been an issue before.  I am
  testing on systems that were certified for 12.04 LTS, so I know that
  these systems functioned fine on older releases of Ubuntu Server.
