https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/384861 reports that
the bnx2 firmware is missing from the installer, and needs to be
delivered in some udeb. The most natural approach seems to be to put it
in the nic-modules udeb next to the module itself. This requires a
little bit of plumbing work in the rules files.

Colin Watson (3):
  UBUNTU: Run kernel-wedge in $(builddir) rather than at the top level
  UBUNTU: Add support for including firmware in udebs
  UBUNTU: Ship bnx2 firmware in nic-modules udeb
