Message-ID: <CAP+Vy9cSK7kWbfYGT566BshozaQ-NqH0UpeuXEErLRLMP9Tt0g@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:26:26 +0900 From: Dongsoo Nathaniel Kim <dongsoo.kim@...il.com> To: netdev <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: About bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw (Broadcom ethernet) firmware Hello folks, I'm wondering if it is ok to send a patch which includes bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw.ihex. I'm working on other subsystem of kernel but since someday, my machine has problem with vanilla kernel which has been turned up with a ethernet firmware file missing. According to the bnx2 driver, it includes a firmware which does not exist in firmware directory yet. (thanks to someone gave me a hint that I can find in linux-firmware tho) My machine uses "NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet" which definitely tries to use FW_MIPS_FILE_09 according to the driver. Every time I pull kernel repository and test vanilla kernel, it comes up with a network problem. (actually extremely irritating) So I made a patch including ihex of firmware myself but I'm not sure it is ok to send this patch (legal issues? I'm not with Broadcom..) Please let me know if it is ok.
