Hi DongInn,

This is to let you know that I fixed my issue with Broadcom Netxtreme  II card 
and I successfully installed my node.

If this could be of any help to others..

Problem as I see it (after dozens of tests):

The bnx2 driver v. 2.2.1  used onto the master node (came with CentOS 6.3) 
requests .fw files in /lib/firmware.
The.fw files was missing from the initrd.img and the SIS oscarimage.
The /lib/firmware files were not included into the SIS oscarimage and therefore 
not into the initrd.img.
After adding them to the initrd.img it was impossible to make the kernel load 
the .fw files during the PXE boot.

Solution:
I downloaded the last driver archive Netxtreme2-linux-7.4.27.tar.gz from 
Broadcom and compiled the drivers.
I loaded my new module to check it works onto the master node (same hardware).
I copied the bnx2.ko file to the initrd.img UYOK (uncompressed archive) and 
recreated the image.
NOTE: The new bnx2.ko does not depend on any .fw files.
I booted PXE and it worked.

Thank you for your support.
Best Regards,
Costel SEITAN
