A little late, but should not matter to driver. (I work at Chelsio) The firmware load is just an info message, in case firmware load fails, driver will fallback to using firmware already flashed in card. Drivers for 1.12.25.0 are backwards compatible with 1.9.23.0
That said, "Direct firmware load failed with error -2" indicates the firmware file was not found in userspace. -2 is ENOENT (file not found) Hard to say without full update-initramfs output, but rm -f ./lib/firmware/cxgb4/t5fw.bin rm -f ./lib/firmware/cxgb4/t4fw.bin looks suspicious to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400413 Title: Chelsio cxgb4 driver cannot load firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1400413/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
