Hi,
I don't know much where to write about this, but i'll try here. Sorry if
it's the wrong place!
I updated a squeeze box to unstable/experimental in order to try out the
xapi (project kronos) port on Debian, but got into this on my test box:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-2-686-pae
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-6.2.9.0.fw for
module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-6.2.9.0.fw
for module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-6.2.9.0.fw for
module bnx2x
When i rebooted the box, the bnx2 drivers says it can't load the
firmware for my nic.
It seems that package firmware-bnx2 is missing some firmwares used for
the 3.0.0-2-686-pae kernel.
I know it's experimental, but is there a workaround ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards,
Sébastien

Have you enabled non-free? There is a "firmware-bnx2x" in non-free,
which is probably what you are looking for.

Yes, the packages firmware-bnx2x is installed:
root@box:~# dpkg -l | grep bnx
ii firmware-bnx2 0.33
Binary firmware for Broadcom NetXtremeII
ii firmware-bnx2x 0.33
Binary firmware for Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb
but it doesn't contain the files the 3.0.0-2-686-pae kernel is looking
for...
Kernel wants one of these:
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-6.2.9.0.fw for

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-6.2.9.0.fw
for module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-6.2.9.0.fw for
module bnx2x
root@xen-blade13:~# dpkg -L firmware-bnx2x
/.
/lib
/lib/firmware
/lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1-4.8.53.0.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x

/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.0.20.0.fw

/lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1-5.0.21.0.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1h-5.0.21.0.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1h-4.8.53.0.fw
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/bug
/usr/share/bug/firmware-bnx2x
/usr/share/bug/firmware-bnx2x/presubj
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/firmware-bnx2x
/usr/share/doc/firmware-bnx2x/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/firmware-bnx2x/copyright
So it looks like to me that the packages firmware-bnx2x might be lacking
some firmwares for 3.x kernels....

Our upstream for (most of) firmware-nonfree is the linux-firmware
repository, and it appears that Broadcom never sent version 6.2.9.0 of
the bnx2x firmware there. It's also possible that the request was
dropped somewhere along the way.

The firmware was submitted to firmware/bnx2x folder using
96b8e1a0e96bd30ffb07e739b29b8c4c5759b93f in IHEX form with appropriate
changes in firmware/Makefile and firmware/WHENCE.
You should be able to build binaries using all this.
Please let me know if you need any more assistance.

So it's in the linux tree but not linux-firmware? Well that's fairly

useless.
David, we need to either keep on importing changes from the linux tree
or get rid of the firmware directory altogether. I notice that one new
driver has even added a blob there recently.

I uploaded a new version today which includes the versions requested
by the bnx2x driver in Linux 3.0 and 3.1.
Sorting out the mess upstream will take a little longer...

I don't understand everything that has been said about this topic, I'll
ask a simple question:
are the firmwares going to be included in the firmware-bnx2x package
anytime soon or is
there a way to build them and add them manually on a debian unstable
machine ?
thanks :)

We should add the FW to linux-firmware, then you will be able to take it from there

David,
do you want me to provide the firmware files for your tree, or you will be
able build it from linux tree by yourself?
