It looks like we've had bnx2-mips- 09-6.2. 1b.fw already included in the linux-firwmare package as of Ubuntu version 1.67, thus is is also already included in the quantal linux-firmware package, eg

linux-firmware: bnx2: Update mips firmware to fix iSCSI problems
New firmware fixes iSCSI problems with some LeftHand targets that don't
set TTT=0xffffffff for Data-In according to spec. Firmware generates
exception warnings for this condition and becomes very slow. This is
fixed by suppressing these warnings when using default error mask.

However, it looks like it now needs to be added the debian/ nic-firmware. lst file to ensure it's seeded in the nic-firmware udeb. The attached patch should fix this. I'll get it uploaded to quantal-proposed and have it moved to the release pocket once the Alpha-1 freeze is lifted. Thanks.
