Thanks for reporting back. It will take a while before I can test something like initrd tftp:///my.ipxe.server/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw Any confirms on yes initrd http://my.server/path/initrd.gz initrd http://my.server/path/foobar.fw /lib/firmware/foobar.fw works for me. Kernel does find the foobar.fw at /lib/firmware ?
