1) The system boots incorrectly on the 3.13 kernels. The USB keyboard is not working, neither is the Ethernet connection. The systems boots correctly on 3.14-rc+ kernels, so also on 3.15 it works ok. This is a separate issue, which I can setup as a separate bug.
With 14.04.1 around the corner (which is running a 3.15 kernel) I rather make it work with that one (but that is my personal choice, I understand that). The reason is the deployment contains a huge amount of these servers and for 1 month I better can focus on 3.15 timing wise. So let's focus on the other part, where this bug report IS for. 2) The firmware provided by Ubuntu is older than the one from HP. Ubuntu 4.0.590, HP 4.0.593. The system loads the firmware from the NC375T flash at boot and reports an error. That firmware is also added to this bug as an attachment. With this firmware from the card loaded at boot by the system, the card works. I tested that personally on multiple (exactly the same) systems. The main issue is that the firmware included in the mainline kernel is not up to date enough. Hope I explained it more clearly and correctly else please shout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327908 Title: HP NC375T / phanfw.bin: firmware is older than flash / Direct firmware load failed with error -2 / HP firmware is newer in cards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1327908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
