Bug Description

Server with Broadcom BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810s bNDC NIC able to boot properly into bootstrap mode as well as boot into CentOS installer.

But on first boot after CentOS installation it complains about missing firmware for NIC:

bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw

According to RPM search this firmware lives in kernel-firmware-2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64.rpm package

But yum does not install this packag:

yum install kernel-firmware
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
Package kernel-firmware-2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64 is obsoleted by linux-firmware-20140317-35.gitdec41bce.mira1.noarch which is already installed
Nothing to do

Package linux-firmware installs during CentOS installation but does not has bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw in it.

Workaround:

- Unpack kernel-firmware-2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64.rpm

rpm2cpio kernel-firmware-2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

- Put firmware on Nailgun web server:

cp ./lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw /var/www/nailgun/2014.2-6.0/centos/fw/bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw

- Insert following command into kickstart's "%post" section:

dockerctl shell cobbler

vi /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos-x86_64.ks

%post
...
wget -O /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw http://10.20.16.13:8080/2014.2-6.0/centos/fw/bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw
...

- Run "cobbler sync" inside this cobbler's container.

We should rebuild linux-firmware-20140317-35.gitdec41bce.mira1.noarch with missing firmware file.

I've updated linux-firware package to latest available (they are just snapshots from GIT, and do not bring any new dependencies).
Could you please recheck it?

yum localinstall linux-firmware-20150115-45.git78535e88.mira2.noarch.rpm
Reboot the node, and interface should be UP.
