I have the same problem with our login server, an old HP ProLiant DL380 G5 with Broadcomm network interface. Its kernel got upgraded this morning from 4.13.0 to 4.15.0-29-generic via the linux-generic-hwe-16.04 meta package.
At reboot the eth0 interface got its correct IP address (via manual configuration in /etc/network interfaces) but stayed down. A manual 'ifconfig eth0 up' on the console gave the error message 'bnx2: Can’t load firmware bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw'. I've now rebooted the login server with the old 4.13.0-45 kernel but would like to use the same kernel that runs on all our other hosts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763387 Title: Biobic HWE kernel (4.15) does not contain the bnx2 (Broadcom NetXtreme II network card) firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-edge/+bug/1763387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
