Package: firmware-bnx2x
Version: 20210315-3
Followup-For: Bug #1006500
X-Debbugs-Cc: cquike@arcor.de

I have this problem when installing a server using the netinst ISO image. I
then tried with the firmware image from here
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-
firmware/11.5.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/ but it does not work because it ships
with version 20210315-3, which does not contain bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw,
which the installer insists on installing.

I workarounded the issue repackaging the ISO image adding version 20221109-2
from bookworm and then it finally worked.

It would be good if that version of the firmware is included in bullseye and
added to the (unofficial) firmware CD.
