Hi,

I tried to deploy a system image with ubuntu-12.04 (precise) and the host 
machine has the "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 10 Gigabit 
Ethernet" network card.

I used UYOK and it failed to load up the network firmware while going through 
initrd
.
The network kernel module: bnx2x
Its firmware is: bnx2x-e2-7.0.29.0.fw

It seems that it could not find the firmware in initrd and I modified the UYOK 
initrd image file to include the firmware file in 
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.0.29.0.fw.
> root@cutter-m:~/tmp2# ls -al lib/firmware/bnx2x/
> total 620
> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   4096 Dec 24 11:56 .

> root@cutter-m:~/tmp2#

Even though the firmware seems to be the right place, the network card can not 
be up (i.e., fail to run "ifconfig eth0 up").
Note, the bnx2x kernel module is loaded properly regardless of the existence of 
the firmware.

Can anyone please help me to fix the firmware issue?
