Hi,
after I patched and rebooted the appliance the system is no longer reachable via network. The system has two Broadcom NetXtreme II Cards (BCM5708, Dell PowerEdge 2950 Server). The new kernel detects the cards correctly but the necessary firmware seems to be missing.
Error message: bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw"
Trying to assign an ip address via ifconfig leads to SIOCSIFFLAGS error.
I guess the firmware wasn't included in the kernel or ram disc so the nics are not usable
