Description Andy Grimm 2012-02-02 17:29:36 UTC

Description of problem:
A bnx2 network card - id 14e4:163b (rev 20) - causes the following error on boot:

kernel: [   16.272402] bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.3.0-0.rc1.git6.1.fc17.x86_64
linux-firmware-20110731-3.fc17.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install kernel-3.3.0-0.rc1.git6.1.fc17.x86_64
2. reboot the system
  
Actual results:
The error mentioned above, and no usable network link.

Expected results:
Successful firmware loading, network link

Additional Info:
Copying bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw to bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw was a sufficient workaround.

The problem was mentioned on the kernel netdev list here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=132616185703573&w=2

However, I did not see 6.2.1b in the linux-firmware git tree, only 6.2.1 and 6.2.1a

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2012-02-02 17:37:21 UTC

There's a similar report for bnx2x as well that is hitting F16 because the compat-wireless stuff brings the 3.3-rc1 drivers back to the F16 3.2 kernel.

David, I'll look at updating linux-firmware in Fedora if I don't hear from you by Monday.

Andy, can you see if this build works for you:

Works here on a machine that needs it.

Thanks Kevin.  I think I'll commit and submit this as an update.

This should be fixed in today's rawhide.
