[Voyage-linux] Install Voyage MPD in a barebone PC

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Fred,

If you run "lsmod", you should see tg3 is loaded.  Run "dmesg | less " and walk through to somewhere around "tg3" you 
will some error about loading the firmware.

To fix your issue,.
1. download firmware-linux-nonfree by command (remountrw first, of course):
wget 
http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-linux-nonfree_0.35~bpo60+1_all.deb

2. then install it by:
dpkg -i firmware-linux-nonfree_0.35~bpo60+1_all.deb

3. reboot.
