This checker find all missing firmware...

And we do miss quite a lot...
Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2012-09-10 18:46:52 CEST 
We still miss a lot of firmware in Cauldron (actually even more than in mga2)
Some of those issues can be fixed by adding missing BR to drakx-installer-images (eg: ipw2[12]00-firmware) but others are due to outdated packages (eg: atmel-firmware)

Priority: Normal => release_blocker
Version: 1 => Cauldron

Severity: normal => critical

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2012-11-24 12:26:24 CET 
This missing bnx2 firmware was fixed in kernel-firmware-nonfree-20120421-3.mga2 wich is included in mga2 release

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
