BNX2 - Broadcom Ethernet driver problem

[peppinger2001]

Dear All,

My IBM X3650 Server has 2 Broadcom BCM5708 NetXtreme II Nics.
On system startup the driver is beeing loaded as you can see with the LSMOD command.

DMESG gives me something like the following output:

[ 700.272029] bnx2 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2-06-6.4.16.fw
[ 700.294546] bnx2: Can't load firmware file bnx2-06-6.4.16.fw

Now within the /LIB/FIRMWARE/ directory there is no such file bnx2-06-6.4.16.fw
The are only 2 older .fw files

The ifconfig command only brings me the lokal loopback interface lo

On google i found this bugreport which is for kernel 2.6.29.1
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-kernel@lists.debian.org/msg44367.html

But it seems the problem still issnt solved for kernel 2.6.30 Parted Magic 4.2 is using ??

As i forgot to mention:

When you do a modinfo on /LIB/MODULES/KERNELVERSION/DRIVERS/NET/bnx2.ko.gz you can see the needed .fw files

I added the updated firmware to Parted Magic 4.3. Hope this works.
