Missing install-time driver for QLogic QED 25/40/100Gb Ethernet NIC

[dann frazier]

[Impact]
Network installs over a QLogic QED 25/40/100Gb Ethernet NIC will not work.

[Test Case]
Attempt to use the netinst installer to install a system over this NIC.

[Regression Risk]
The fix is just add to add additional kernel modules and firmware to the installer to support this NIC. The biggest risk I see there is that it increases the size of the installer, which could potentially grow to bit for some smaller systems.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed-artful'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

debian-installer (20101020ubuntu451.22) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ dann frazier ]
  * arm64-efi/netboot: Improvements to mini.iso generation:
    - Add an EFI System Partition to fix booting from USB stick on
      same platforms LP: #1692876.
    - Remove no-op arguments -boot-load-size and -boot-info-table.
    - Use simpler "-e" instead of "--efi-boot" since we only have 1
      el torito image.
    - Add -partition_offset 16 so that the output of commands like
      'isosize' is correct.
  * netboot/arm64: Include nic-firmware. LP: #1743638.

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into artful-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.169.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-artful to verification-done-artful. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-artful. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

This package has not yet been tested. Looks like there was some issue with the reviewing tool that caused the tags not being properly set - please test the artful upload of linux-firmware please.
