This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Posted a patch to rhkernel-list to return the 5 firmware files found to be missing. Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-118.el6 *** Bug 681723 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Verified on kernel-2.6.32-134.el6 [root@dell-pe1950-01 ~]# dmesg | grep bnx2 Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.0.8-j15 (Feb 15, 2010) bnx2 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 bnx2 0000:05:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j6.fw bnx2 0000:05:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-06-5.0.0.j3.fw bnx2 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 bnx2 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j6.fw bnx2 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-06-5.0.0.j3.fw bnx2 0000:05:00.0: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X bnx2: eth0: using MSI bnx2: eth0 NIC Copper Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0542.html This issue is still persistent in kernel version: 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6 I have the updated kernel-firmware package installed also. The only way i've found to get around the issue is compiling bnx2 from Broadcom's source rpm. With the most recent kernel update the bnx2x_compat.h has incompatible definitions with the broadcom source. We had to form a patch to compile the drivers properly to get up and running. I've tried this with and without port bonding with the same result. The errors thrown during bootup are: bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw" bnx2 0000:05:00.0 : PCI INT A disabled bnx2 probe of 0000:09:00.0 failed with error -2 bnx2 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 bnx2 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw Once the drivers are conpiled from source things work properly. Chris, Unfortunately, this bugzilla is closed. I would suggest that you create a new bugzilla so the fix can be applied to EUS stream you referenced in the previous comment (2.6.32-131.2.1.el6).
