<br>
<br>
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? <br>
<br>
Best regards <br>

I would go expanding the

initrd <a href="tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed" moz-do-not-send="true">tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed</a> /tmp/debian_buster_node.seed
into

initrd <a href="tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed" moz-do-not-send="true">tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed</a> /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,<br>
<br>
What do you mean by this line:<br>
<br>
initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw<br>
<br>
should the URL point to the local firmware file on the ipxe server,
after coping it to /srv/tftp/ folder, something like this:<br>
<br>
initrd tftp:///my.ipxe.server/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
