So there is missing firmware for your ethernet controller (tigon/tg3_tso5.bin), which is not really needed for it to basically work. > Dec 4 19:00:46 kernel: [ 214.566329] eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95788) rev > 3003] (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) MAC address 00:22:64:57:9c:b3 > Dec 4 19:00:46 kernel: [ 214.566340] eth0: attached PHY is 5705 > (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[0]) > Dec 4 19:00:46 kernel: [ 214.566347] eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] > MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1] > Dec 4 19:00:46 kernel: [ 214.566354] eth0: dma_rwctrl[763f0000] > dma_mask[32-bit] > Dec 4 19:00:46 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network > interface eth0 check-missing-firmware tried to load firmware, and then it reloaded all modules that needed firmware. This takes the interface down. Normally, we would not get past netcfg with an interface that was in use but had missing firmware. So this optional missing firmware is what triggers the problem. One way to fix this would be to make check-missing-firmware refuse to reload NIC modules whose interfaces have an address assigned. Problem: How to map from module to interface? -- see shy jo
