Hi,

the problem affects Debian stable as well. Use case is installing
an old HP server using PXE/Netboot(5.10.0-16)/Preseed. I managed
to smuggle the 3 missing files (bnx2x-e1-7.13.21.0.fw,
bnx2x-e1h-7.13.21.0.fw, bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw) into
/lib/firmware of the installer but without them being included
in the firmware-bnx2x package, I can't install them properly into
the target partition.

Best regards,

Frank
