Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* There is new version of bnx2x firmware
* oem-5.14 and hwe-5.15 kernels use that one; and when not found
fallback to previous version of firmware.
[Test Plan]
* sudo apt install initramfs-tools
* echo bnx2x | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
* sudo apt install linux-oem-20.04 linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge
With current linux-firmware the above results in:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-22-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw for
module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.21.0.fw for
module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.21.0.fw for
module bnx2x
with updated linux-firmware no lines of "Possible missing firmware"
should appear.
[Where problems could occur]
* v21 firmware version is backwards compatible with v15 firmware
previously used, but includes bugfixes. It may result in different NIC
behavior.
[Other Info]
* The v21 firmware is already present in Jammy
* The kernels that use v21 firmware are not going to be shipped in Impish
* The kernels that use v21 firmware will be available/used in Focal
