[Users] oVirt 3.1 - HP BL460c G6 - Broadcom 57711E/NC532i nic (bnx2x driver problem)

Hi, I've installed the latest beta node, and the nic Broadcom NC532i on my BL460c G2 doesn't work, it seems a firmware bug: [ 466.785347] bnx2x: [bnx2x_func_hw_init:5457(em1)]Error loading firmware [ 466.785358] bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:1888(em1)]HW init failed, aborting bnx2x-e1h-7.2.16.0.fw doesn't exists on /lib/firmware/bnx2x Best regards, Ricardo Esteves.

That's correct, it isn't there. I had to do some research on this, and it turns out that the firmware you need is not included in the current version of linux-firmware on Fedora 17. There is a package in updates-testing that includes it, but we won't be able to pull that in until it gets pushed live. It still (as of right now) needs additional karma before it can be pushed. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-9095/linux-firmware-2012... Mike
