Package: firmware-bnx2
Version: 0.15
Severity: serious

Hi,

Apparently, there's a problem with firmware-bnx2 0.15 and
linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64.

After installing both:
# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.29-1-amd64
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2-09-4.4.26.fw for module bnx2
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2-06-4.4.1.fw for module bnx2

Trying to manually load the driver:
[  699.179402] Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.9.3 (March 
17, 2009)
[  699.203179] bnx2 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

[  700.325423] bnx2: probe of 0000:09:00.0 failed with error -2

After copying bnx2-06-4.6.16.fw to bnx2-06-4.4.1.fw (since that's the
one it seems to expect), manually unloading/reloading the driver works.

But I can't seem to be able to build a initramfs that works using
update-initramfs -u: during boot, bnx2-06-4.4.1.fw still can't be found,
despite it being in the initramfs image:
$ gzip -d < initrd.img-2.6.29-1-amd64.867 | cpio -t |grep bnx
lib/modules/2.6.29-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko
lib/firmware/bnx2-06-4.4.1.fw
