Sorry to revive a really old thread, but since this regards a nic I just purchased off Amazon in 2025, I wanted to update the thread in case others come across it (like I did).
After installing the `firmware-bnx2x` package:
...my BCM57801S sold by GTek complained that it needed firmware version: 7.13.21.0.fw
I found all the necessary files at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... tree/bnx2x
Download all the *.fw files into: /lib/firmware/bnx2x then run update-initramfs -u followed by a reboot.
That fixed it for me, and it connected just fine afterward.
