when i try to do a 'modprobe bnx2', it fails with a message saying it

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?

I use the following script to help debug these sorts of things.

----- /sbin/hotplug -----
#! /bin/sh
if test -n "$MODALIAS" -o -n "$FIRMWARE"; then
    echo hotplug: `env | sort` > /dev/kmsg;
fi
test -n "$MODALIAS" && modprobe "$MODALIAS";
exec /bin/mdev "$@";

It prints to the kernel log, so you can find the output with dmesg or the serial console or whatever is convenient.

Hope that helps.
