Hi,

I have an issue with missing non-free firmware for Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb 57710, version 7.13.1.0 (bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw). I am trying to auto install Debian daily image on a Dell PowerEdge R630 using KVM console. Is there any way to upload the missing firmware with IPXE?

Best regards



Found the  mailinglist archive    ;-)

#!ipxe

I would go expanding the

initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
initrd tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed /tmp/debian_buster_node.seed


into

initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
initrd tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed /tmp/debian_buster_node.seed
initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw  /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw



and see what happens.

Please share your results.

Hi Geert,

What do you mean by this line:

initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw

should the URL point to the local firmware file on the ipxe server, after coping it to /srv/tftp/ folder, something like this:

initrd tftp:///my.ipxe.server/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw

Thanks
