[TUTORIAL] Broadcom NICs down after PVE 8.2 (Kernel 6.8)

Hi,
quickly mentioning that we had the same problem on a recent acquired Supermicro server. We asked their support for the latest firmware and got file aoc-a25g-b2s\ fw\ 228.0.116.0.zip. Mind you, after upgrade version 227 is on the NICs.
We then installed niccli_231.0.162.1-1_x86_64.deb.
We changed the upgrade script to:

Code: 
#!/bin/bash

# Remove bnxt_en/re driver
rmmod bnxt_re >/dev/null 2>&1
rmmod bnxt_en >/dev/null 2>&1

niccli -i 1 install A25G227_transition.pkg --yes
sleep 3

niccli -i 1 reset
sleep 3

niccli -i 1 install AOC-A25G-b2S.pkg --yes
sleep 3

niccli -i 1 reset
sleep 3
# chmod +x FWUpdate_custom.sh

That fixed the problem, no further blacklisting required,

BC
