I found the issue.  The firmware I needed was bnx2x, not bnx2.

Well, this seems odd.  I don't see any candidate which looks likely, to me, in 
/lib/firmware/bnx2:

Try to find the firmware that matches - I think the message tells you which
version is required. Compare with what you hahve in /lib/firmware
Here in jessie with my custom kernel I
see /lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1h-5.2.13.0.fw
but you fail with bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.8.19.0.fw

This will solve your problem. IF not , try compile custom kernel

It is a stock kernel from the current Debian repository.  The firmware was 
loaded using `apt-get install firmware-bnx2`.

You need to upload the firware that suits your kernel - you either got older
or newer firmware. I won't expect it to work, or at least not in 10G
If you have custom kernel, it would explain the pain. try the native debian
kernel with the native firmware - I don't know if such is available, but if
card is supported it should be.
I prefer using custom kernel and download firmware from the support sites.

It's still not working, but the card is in the udev file, and ifconfig -a shows

As others on this thread have hinted, possibly less than completely 
clearly, this card is supported by the kernel and IF your particular 
kernel was built with support turned on, THEN all you should need is the 
firmware which is provided by a package deloptes pointed out.

I just checked in the stock Jessie kernel I am running, support for the 
BNX2 is included as a module. Assuming you are also using the stock 
Jessie kernel you get when you install Jessie (tell us if otherwise), 
you should have it as a module too. In that case, on detecting your 
hardware, if the hardware is healthy, udev should have automatically 
loaded the driver. So if you also install the firmware as deloptes 
pointed out, you should at least get the length of a functioning network 
card. Which is different from a functioning network connection you can 
actually use.

If you previously had another card installed, and that card is still 
present, you may have some futzing around to do to persuade the machine 
to bring up the new card and have it connect to the network. Let us know 
if that is so.

In the meantime, assuming you are using a stock kernel and not one you 
built yourself or had someone build for you, and assuming you have 
installed the firmware deloptes mentioned, what is the output of:

$ ip link

?

Well, that's good to know, but it's not coming up.  I've never added an 
Ethernet adapter post-install, so I suspect I need to do something, but I am 
not sure what.  I did an lsmod, and the bnx2x module is loaded, but not being 
used.  I loaded the firmware, but I get this error during boot:

Why? The bnx2 module is available in the default kernel and should
support those NIC out of the box.

I purchased a couple of Asus PEB-10G/57811-1S 10G LAN adapters.  I am not 
finding any pre-built binaries nor a .deb reporitory for these cards, so I am 
attempting t o compile from scratch, but I get the following error during the

Does anyone have an ideas?  Are there any pre-built drivers for these cards for 
Debian Jessie?
