Package: firmware-bnx2x Version: 0.43 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Installed experimental 3.19 kernel on jessie host with a bnx2x ethernet card, and update-initramfs couldn't find appropriate firmware, leading to inability to boot this kernel with network access. Hacked around it locally by manually installing updated upstream firmware from https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/bnx2x into /lib/firmware/ manually. The new driver/firmware versions (bnx2x-*-7.10.51.0.fw) are required by the bnx2x driver in kernel 3.18 and higher. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
