After digging into DPDK source code, I found this: -- cd ~/sources/dpdk/dpdk-2.2.0/drivers/net/
grep -ri \/firmware * bnx2x/bnx2x.c:#define FW_NAME_57711 "/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.2.51.0.fw" bnx2x/bnx2x.c:#define FW_NAME_57810 "/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.2.51.0.fw" -- However, those files doesn't exists on Ubuntu 16.04! Package linux- firmware doesn't have any of it. So, I downloaded it: -- cd /lib/firmware/bnx2x/ wget https://github.com/cernekee/linux-firmware/raw/master/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.2.51.0.fw wget https://github.com/cernekee/linux-firmware/raw/master/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.2.51.0.fw -- And then, no more firmware errors! -- journalctl | grep -i ovs https://paste.ubuntu.com/15429791/ -- However, still doesn't work!
