Well, this should be possible. That's why we use OSCAR. OSCAR is supposed to be
able to host heterogenous cluster.

I have setup an OSCAR cluster with bnx2x network driver and its firmware on
ubuntu box

It is not really recommended but I think it is OK to update oscarimage directly
as long as you know exactly what you are doing.
BTW, I would like to clarify your problem.
Can your second machine (e.g., 2nd M) do pxeboot properly?
- Can 2nd M load up the bnx2 module and get the network connection?
- Did it get the oscarimge through rsync or whatever you choose?
How did you get the bnx2 module and its firmware?
Have you tried to load up bnx2 module on your head node and does it work?
