nic-modules udeb does not contain the qlcnic driver for Qlogic

[Narinder Gupta]

SRU Justification

Impact:

I am trying to do install on DL360p Gen8 with qlogic card which needs qlcnic driver. But installer gives error stating that no network controller found. As by default server comes with intel nic but it has option to use either intel or Qlogic ALOM. After testing with Qlogic ALOM found out that nic-modules udeb does not contains the qlcnic driver. When we do not select the nic and keep continue the installation no issue kernel comes up file with nic driver installed and we need to configure it manually.

Testing:

Try to netboot, it either works or it doesn't

Ubuntu Raring installer image needs to include qlcnic driver. to have work on DL360 with qlogic ALOM on raring and 12.04.3

Downloaded the latest nic-modules and I can see the qlcnic driver is there in latest version.
