Hello misc, I just upgraded my 4.0 system to -current (GENERIC.MP), and when I reboot, the two bnx devices could not find firmware in /etc/firmware. It appears to be looking for /etc/firmware/bnx, but that file is not present.
try the following: # cd /usr/src/sys/dev/microcode/bnx # make that should produce a file named 'bnx' in that directory. copy it to /etc/firmware and reboot.
I can reboot the old kernel just fine (so it appears the old bnx driver did not require it). Curious how/where the new firmware for bnx is located at, and where I can obtain a copy. Is there some step I missed in the upgrade procedure that builds/adds these firmware files? or is this simply done separately? I followed the FAQ. Also I've google'ed the archives/web for any answer to these questions... unfortunately the web & mail archives are full of references to the iwi firmware licensing issue, and little else. -GeorgeC
