It looks like we've had bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw already included in the
linux-firwmare package as of Ubuntu version 1.67, thus is is also
already included in the quantal linux-firmware package, eg

    linux-firmware: bnx2: Update mips firmware to fix iSCSI problems
    
    New firmware fixes iSCSI problems with some LeftHand targets that don't
    set TTT=0xffffffff for Data-In according to spec.  Firmware generates
    exception warnings for this condition and becomes very slow.  This is
    fixed by suppressing these warnings when using default error mask.

~/linux-firmware$ git describe --contains

Ubuntu-1.67~30

However, it looks like it now needs to be added the debian/nic-
firmware.lst file to ensure it's seeded in the nic-firmware udeb.  The
attached patch should fix this.  I'll get it uploaded to quantal-
proposed and have it moved to the release pocket once the Alpha-1 freeze
is lifted.  Thanks.
