These also require special free and nonfree firmware. Check your kernel
config! Check your firmware-nonfree package!

Look at:
CONFIG_BNX2
CONFIG_SCSI_BNX2_ISCSI

Kernel:
$ ls firmware/bnx2
bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw        bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw.ihex
bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw.ihex   bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw
bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw       bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw.ihex
bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw.ihex  bnx2-rv2p-09ax-6.0.17.fw
bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw       bnx2-rv2p-09ax-6.0.17.fw.ihex

If compiled manually:
$ make install modules_install firmware_install

firmware-nonfree:
$ ls bnx2/bnx2
bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j3.fw  bnx2-rv2p-06-5.0.0.j3.fw
bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw     bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw
bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw     bnx2-rv2p-09-5.0.0.j3.fw
bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j3.fw  bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw
bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw    bnx2-rv2p-09ax-5.0.0.j3.fw
bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw    bnx2-rv2p-09ax-6.0.17.fw

Cheers,
