Yes, that's the "crippled system".  The above quote is truncated, and
there is a second server that Leslie Rhorer previously described as
"dead".  In the last email to this bug, the reporter's second sentence,
about the second system was:

So there are two affected systems.  For the record, the specific NIC
that uses bnx2x but that isn't working is this one:

Leslie, does your server with this NIC work with up-to-date firmware
from bookworm?  How about bookworm-backports?  And in combination with
the kernel from bookworm-backports?

Alternatively, would you please test with a TESTING image for the
upcoming Debian 13 (trixie) release?

Holger, do you have another source of information that shows that this
was fixed for the reporter's second server?  In the absence of this,
this bug should not be closed.

Cheers,
Nicholas
