I'm trying to add a dell r710 into our diskless boot system. On just about all of the other machines in our data center i've had no trouble with the tg3, e1000, and igb modules and have booted the systems just fine.
however, the dells have a bnx2 card which requires firmware files to load. this is where i'm stuck using busybox-1.19 and 2.6.32-358.23.2 (?, might be off a minor version number) I'm a little confused on the mdev system and whether it should be able to load the drivers for this card without me issuing a modprobe (but that might be for another email) when i try to do a 'modprobe bnx2', it fails with a message saying it cannot load the firmware files 'bnx2/bnx-firmware-0.6.1b.fw' however, i do in fact have the firmware files in '/lib/firmware/bnx2' oddly enough the bnx2 module does load after the 'unable to load firmware' error messages spit out, but no ethernet devices show up i'm *sure* i'm doing something wrong, but googling around hasn't shed any answers any thoughts or directions? _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
