Comments/Problems:

I am automatizing the install and configuration of the my Dell blades. I am using preseed and packaging. However, the lastest Debian images (Wheezy netinst) can't find the package firmware-bnx2_0.36_all.deb on an USB flash disk.

My last sucess was using the 20121012 netinst image. It works fine now.  I don't tested all imagens from 20121012, but 20121128-30 and others doesn't work. The system says when installing: "No kernel  modules were found. [...] Continue the install without loading kernel modules?"

Thanks in advance.

The whole problem is you were using an old netboot image.  Netboot
images frequently break when the kernel package is updated.

Firmware is completely irrelevant to this, and the original error
message made no mention of firmware.
