Include bnx2 firmwares (bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw") #11

Hi,

We have Dell servers using the bnx2 firmware bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw and, when FOS boots and tries to initiliaze the network, the following message appears:

bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw"

As a fix, I followed https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Modifying_the_Init_Image to add the bnx2 firmwares that I copied from the firmware-bnx2 debian package.

I stumbled upon https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/2156/latest-fog-0-33b/420 and https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/601/bugs-in-fog-0-33/234 where it seems that you included the firmare directly in the driver. But maybe bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw is more recent and needs to be included too?

Added to kernel firmware. You can download them at https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage and https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage32.

They should be available via the GUI as well, but will have the version label 4.17.0-addbnx

Just in case someone comes across this and wonders about where those kernels are. I just deleted those 4.17.0-addbnx because the mentioned firmware is included in all later kernel versions anyway.
