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.
