Hellos,
... firmware loading seems to be somewhat broken now with/since
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2.c?id=3e1be7ad2d38c6bd6aeef96df9bd0a7822f4e51c
which gives me - on 4.8.6:
bnx2 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load for bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw
failed with error -2
Reverting this commit does fix it (tested on 4.8.6 too) - but it's
ofcourse not what you've initially intended.
TIA,
Frank Reppin
