Bnx2x driver missing from network firmware in initramfs

[Stephen Hemminger]

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

The newer Broadcom boards are missing from the list of network drivers that get their firmware
placed in initramfs. Therefore they won't work because these devices load firmware during probe.

Fix:

I targeted the wrong bug :/

[Robbie Williamson (robbiew)]

which release is this for?

[Stephen Hemminger (shemminger)]

I was looking at Lucid, not sure what is in Maverick.

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
