I'm trying to boot on a Dell R210 but the bnx2 driver fails to
load the firmware on 4.9.

This is what happens:

# modprobe -v bnx2
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.38.6/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko
bnx2: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.0.21 (Dec 23, 2010)
bnx2 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1.fw"
bnx2 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
bnx2: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2
bnx2 0000:02:00.1: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1.fw"
bnx2 0000:02:00.1: PCI INT B disabled
bnx2: probe of 0000:02:00.1 failed with error -2

Note, having played around with the path and checked the presence
of the firmware files within the initrd image I don't actually
think this is not finding the firmware file.

There is a long pause between the PCI INT line and the firmware 
loading error, this would seem to suggest there is some other 
problem causing it not to load the firmware.

I wonder if there could be something missing from the initrd
or not set up correctly?

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
