bnx2x update in 18.04 hwe edge kernel

[Björn Zettergren]

Hi,

linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04-edge version 5.3.0.23.90 seems to require updated bnx2x firmwares.
Installing/configuring this kernel version complaints:

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.11.0.fw for module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.11.0.fw for module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.11.0.fw for module bnx2x

linux-firmware version 1.173.12 does not contain these files, but do contain older versions:

# ls -lhatr /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e*7.13*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 314K Nov 17 2017 /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 175K Nov 17 2017 /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.1.0.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167K Nov 17 2017 /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.1.0.fw

please update the firmwares for bnx2x, or is it the kernel that needs a bug-report to reference the older version?

Thanks for the report, but I'm actually already working on updating the firmware for the 5.3 hwe-edge kernel. I'll duplicate this bug to the bug for that work.

Alright!

I manually added the missing firmware-files and my network worked as expected after boot. Looking forward for the updated package in official repo. Thanks!

Case closed.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
