The network interfaces will not come up at all, making it necessary to steal & rename 6.2.1 firmware to get the interfaces up, and then install a linux-firmware tarball. Before this commit, the bnx2 driver as compiled was self-sufficient. Would it be possible to get back to this situation by updating the relevant firmware/bnx2 files in the kernel sources please? I noticed this problem in an upgrade from 3.2.11 to 3.4.2, but I verified it is still an issue in mainline today.
