Package: firmware-linux-nonfree Version: 0.41 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Broadcom NetXtremeII 5708 ( bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw ) I've downloaded manually from packages.debian.org/testing/kernel/firmware-bnx2 and other sources such as github.com/cernekee/linux-firmware/tree/master/bnx2 as well as installing via apt with apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree and offical 7.0 DVD disk without any success. The system said the file is not a valid firmware file. It might be corrupt. Finally I went to unstable tree ( packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/firmware-bnx2 ), downloaded tar.gz file, unpack it and copy it all over to /lib/firmware/bnx2/ folder, bring up the interface and it was viola.

Also, firmware-linux-nonfree is not the same package as firmware-bnx2 so it sounds like you installed the wrong package initially.
