Description babykart 2012-04-05 13:06:48 UTC

Hi,

Since sys-kernel/gentoo-source-3.3.0, bnx2 firmware can't load then the driver bnx2 doesn't work.

Tested on PowerEdge 1950.

Any error message in dmesg? Something like:  bnx2: Can't load firmware file

Can you attach the entire dmesg?

Comment 2 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev

2012-04-06 13:19:56 UTC

Can you try with linux-firmware-20120219 ?

I have this in kern.log with kernel 3.3.1 about bnx2 :

It works find with linux-firmware-20120219 : thank you.
Well, since 3.3, linux-firmware are not embedded in gentoo-sources?

linux-firmware is a separate package. I believe the kernel code now looks for a different fw file name, that file name exists in the new linux-fireware package.

Comment 6 inux 2012-09-01 21:36:51 UTC

Hello,

Same for me today with sys-kernel/gentoo-source-3.4.9 : bnx2: Can’t load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw" when booting on new kernel.

When looking at kernel make output, we can see :
 MK_FW   firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw.gen.S
  IHEX    firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw

  AS      firmware/bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw.gen.o

Nothing for bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw, only for bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw.

No firmware for bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw

And yet, if you edit /usr/src/linux-3.4.9-gentoo/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2.c, you can read  :

 #define FW_MIPS_FILE_09              "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw"
instead of 
 #define FW_MIPS_FILE_09              "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw"

I applied the patch recommendation of Kerin Millar by modifying this line and it works for me.
But it's very dangerous to keep this king of bug in multiple stable version of gentoo-source. We can easily loose control of remote server.

Please, can you fix that in next gentoo-source releases ?
