 +=== Provide firmware for certain hardware devices ===
 +
 +Debian does not ship so-called non-free firmware in its main package archive area. However, several network cards (and other TCE relevant devices) require the installation of a firmware package from Debian non-free.
 +
 +Run the command ''x2gothinclient_shell'' and edit ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' in your TCE chroot (nano, vim and mcedit should be installed in your TCE chroot):
 +<file>
 +deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian <distro-codename> main contrib non-free
 +</file>
 +
 +Then run (in your X2Go TCE chroot):<code>
 +$ apt-get update
 +$ apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-myricom firmware-netxen  firmware-qlogic  firmware-ralink firmware-realtek intel-microcode amd64-microcode
 +</code>
 +
 +If this command fails, please check if packages have been removed from your Debian version or if they are not yet available for your version. Also scan for other firmware packages:<code>
 +$ apt-cache search firmware
 +</code>
 +
 +Also, there is a fine tool that you can run on normal Linux systems that helps with the package installation for several special hardware devices: [[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/isenkram|Isenkram by Petter Reinholdtsen]] from the Debian Edu team.
