I was installing mdadm, sample output below

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3.bin for module tg3

ls -l  /lib/firmware/tigon/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   32 26 janv. 12:40 tg3.bin ->
/lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3884 14 oct.   2009 tg3_tso5.bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   32 26 janv. 12:40 tg3_tso.bin ->
/lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin


Original tigon added during the debian installation was tg3_tso5.bin, and
the link were hadded by myself.

Followed by apt-get install --reinstall mdadm, and complete without "W:
Possible missing firmware"

I hope, it'll be helpful
