BNX interfaces unfortunately require non-free firmware, which Finnix
will not ship.  However, you can grab the firmware packages manually
from Debian, copy the .deb to a flash drive, boot Finnix, and install
the .deb:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-bnx2x

Then reload the module:

rmmod bnx2x; modprobe bnx2x
