Subject: [2.6.29-rc2 regression] e100: netconsole not functional because of missing firmware

[    1.958127] e100 0000:00:0a.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKD] -> GSI 11 
(level, low)
 -> IRQ 11
[    1.986079] e100 0000:00:0a.0: PME# disabled
[    1.987930] e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xf7efd000, irq 11, MAC addr 
00:00:39:d7:14:a1
[    1.989358] netconsole: local port 6665
[    1.989848] netconsole: local IP 10.0.0.1
[    1.990427] netconsole: interface eth0
[    1.990895] netconsole: remote port 6666
[    1.991382] netconsole: remote IP 10.0.0.2
[    1.991890] netconsole: remote ethernet address 00:17:42:21:27:e4
[    1.992680] netconsole: device eth0 not up yet, forcing it
[    2.008509] e100: eth0: e100_request_firmware: Failed to load 
firmware "e100/d101m_ucode.bin": -22
[    2.010461] netconsole: failed to open eth0
[    2.010996] netconsole: cleaning up

This has been working all the time without requiring any external 
firmware to be present. Why it suddenly refuses to work now?
