Thanks tried the stand si 4.1.6 kernel and it does work. It was the UYOK kernel and initrd created by prepareclient that didn't work. The problem seems to stem from the fact I'm imaging a debian system that doesn't compile the bnx2 firmware into the kernel. It still seem odd that the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent never gets called.
