Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
   I found that my network card was crashing and eventually lost all
   network connectivity and the OS stopped recognizing the card. I
   initially had to replace the card but the same thing happened on
   bullseye.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     I manually installed bnx2x-e1-7.13.21.0.fw, bnx2x-e1h-7.13.21.0.fw,
     bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw, and now it works perfectly. This has been
     fixed for bookworm but not bullseye. There are many people with
     this issue and I found this workaround after many people debugged
     it.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Fixed my network card and I never had any more issues.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   Is it possible to update this package on bullseye?
   Note: I did not submit this report on the machine that had these
   issues, please disregard the kernel info from where this bug has been
   generated.

Thanks for your time,

Best regards,


Tomas Leite de Castro
