[Bug 842560] Re: bnx2 firmware missing

[Netmatters]

Not sure if this will help much but this is the behavior that I get on
an HP DL380 G5 running Oneiric with 3.0.0-12-server:

I've got 2 interfaces connected and configured yet only eth1 comes up.

I can confirm all that Tom Ellis see's above as well as the following:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x164c (bnx2)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1a:4b:4c:ae:1e", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x164c (bnx2)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1a:4b:4c:ae:1c", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
