I have a Dell PowerEdge T710 I'm trying to run as a home server. I have successfully installed Devuan, however I failed to set up the network properly. I'm wondering if there's any way to add the non-free network drivers for its Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet controller. I'm also open to reinstalling, but if I'm gonna do that I'd like some guidance on adding the proper network firmware to the installation image. I'm also open to giving up and using the debian non free net install iso. (I'm using Devuan to play with other init systems eventually but its not super important that I stay with this distribution)



Any help is appreciated, and please correct me if I'm barking up the wrong tree entirely. I essentially just want to set up my first server and have working network. Thanks!
