Sophos XG support for old Broadcom LAN

presianbg

Hi, 

I decided to expand my LAB and trying messing around with old IBM x3550 server which has Broadcom NICs.

The rest is history :)


Current XG v17 MR-3 has exactly the same issue:
https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/utm-9-public-beta-closed/64157/8-920-bug-problem-broadcom-firmware

Error message: bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw" 

Trying to assign an ip address via ifconfig leads to SIOCSIFFLAGS error. 

I guess the firmware wasn't included in the kernel or ram disc so the nics are not usable 

Is it indented or it's a "bug" ?

    Same behavior, unfortunately, in XG v17 MR5 fresh install.

    Sophos it has been a month and a MR already. How long will it take to apply a fix that you already solved back in 2012?

    2012 there was only the UTM. no XG.

    IBM 3550 built when, if remember correctly was old in 2008 and you still expect support. When I started with a new company in 2006, they had a 3550 and then it was quite old.
