tags 562594 + patch thanks Hi! This problem looks similar to the one I had while trying to use a daily build image on a PowerEdge R410. The network interfaces on these machines are supported by the bnx2 module, but when no firmware is available, the driver does not register itself for the device, and there is no `$devpath/driver` directory available. The attached patch adds to `check-missing-firmware` another way to determine the module by using `modprobe` and `$devpath/modalias`. Once this changes applied, it sucessfully prompted for the relevant firmware files.
