Title:
  Unable to install Ubuntu 14.10 with netboot image and Broadcom NIC

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  It appears the issue fixed in LP bug 1356948 may not have been propagated to the netboot install image.  During a network install using the latest 14.10 install image (netboot or dvd ) the  BCM57800 / BCM57810 cards fail to initialize and a network install cannot be performed. Installing 14.10 using a DVD image or over an alternate NIC succeeds.  Once installed, the NIC's can be initialized and configured.

  ---uname output---
  Linux p812l 3.16.0-23-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 16 13:13:30 UTC 2014 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
   
  ---Additional Hardware Info---
  This has been seen on multiple model types, but our test system is the following: 
  timebase	: 512000000
  platform	: PowerNV
  model		: 8247-21L
  machine		: PowerNV 8247-21L
  firmware	: OPAL v3
  0002:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
  0002:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
  0002:01:00.2 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
  0002:01:00.3 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
   
  Machine Type = 8247-21L 
   
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  net boot above image and network is not available. 
   
  Install method: http using netboot 
   
  Install ISO Information: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/utopic/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

  We are also experiening this problem on a different hardware platform.
  IBM Power 8 model 8247_42l .

  It has a slightly different network chip which shows up during the
  boot process as:

  eth0: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ether
