bnx2 Firmware not running Aborting

[jan010]

Hi guys,
on my proxmox VE 7.4 after a kernel upgrade (5.15.64 to 5.15.108) my networks interfaces are down.

Journalctl with 5.15.64
kernel: bnx2 0000:0b:00.0 eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5716 1000Base-T
kernel: bnx2 0000:0b:00.1 eth1: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5716 1000Base-T

journalctl with 5.15.108
kernel: bnx2 0000:0b:00.0: Firmware not running, aborting
kernel: bnx2 0000:0b:00.1: Firmware not running, aborting

I had try a full-upgrade and now i've 5.15.131 kernel, but the problem is there.

I had try with
rmmod bnx2
and then with
modprobe bnx2
but nothing is changed.

Do you have suggestions?
Thanks to all

I'm also experiencing this with the same hardware: `Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5716`
For me the issue happened when upgrading from Kernel 6.2 to 6.5.

Thanks for your reply, meichthys... but have you solved ?
If yes, how?

Thanks

@jan010
Sorry for not following up, but yes, I did actually track down my issue. It's likely not your issue, but for some reason my network interface in `/etc/network/interfaces` had an additional `:254` or `:255` (I can't quite remember) tagged on to the end of the vlan. I'm not sure how and why it got there, but when i removed that, everything was back to normal.

```
auto vmbr0.5
iface vmbr0.5:255 inet static
address 192.168.0.1/24
gateway 192.168.0.1

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094
```

@meichthys
thanks anyway... and yes, your problem is different from mine.

 

[jan010]

so no suggestions for me?
