Description Jiri Kastner 2012-07-24 13:09:25 UTC

Description of problem:
firmware used by module is not firmware provided by rt-firmware. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2.23-rt37.49.el6rt.x86_64

How reproducible:
always with .49 kernel

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download kernel-firmware package
2. rmmod bnx2x
3. rpm -e kernel-firmware
4. modprobe bnx2x
5. view dmesg output -> fails to load
6. rmmod bnx2x
7. yum install -y ./kernel-firmware-2.6.32-279.el6.noarch.rpm
8. modprobe bnx2x
9. passed
  
Actual results:
kernel-rt module uses firmware from kernel-firmware which can lead to unusable system, when kernel-firmware package is removed/not installed:

bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:11154(p6p1)]Can't load firmware file bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.2.16.0.fw
bnx2x: [bnx2x_func_hw_init:5457(p6p1)]Error loading firmware
bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:1888(p6p1)]HW init failed, aborting
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to p6p2
bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:11154(p6p2)]Can't load firmware file bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.2.16.0.fw
bnx2x: [bnx2x_func_hw_init:5457(p6p2)]Error loading firmware
bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:1888(p6p2)]HW init failed, aborting

Expected results:
kernel-firmware as dependency, or proper handling of links to firmware provided by rt-firmware.
