Title:
  Ubuntu 15.04 PowerNV install error during network due to bnx2x driver
  errors

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  I am trying to install Ubuntu 15.04 on a PowerNV system using a network installation.  I am able to obtain an IP address with DHCP from the petitboot menu.  I am also able to load the installation kernel and begin the installation but the network configuration within the installer fails.  I tried to manually configure the network, but that failed too.  When I exited to the shell of the installer, I can see my interface has the IP address that I manually configured(10.33.8.112), but I cannot connect to the local LAN:

  ~ # ip address

  I noticed in the /var/log/syslog for the install the following errors related to the bnx2x driver:
  Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [  546.172944] bnx2x 0005:01:00.2: Direct firmware load for bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw failed with error -2
  Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [  546.172950] bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:12958(eth6)]Can't load firmware file bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.10.51.0.fw
  Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [  546.172952] bnx2x: [bnx2x_func_hw_init:5523(eth6)]Error loading firmware
  Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [  546.172957] bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:2704(eth6)]HW init failed, aborting

  I'm wondering if this failure message for the network driver is what is preventing me from connecting to the network during the install?
    
  ---uname output---
  N/A - Trying to do a fresh install of 15.04
   
  Machine Type = 8247-42L 
    
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  Boot the PowerNV system to petitboot menu and select network install of Ubuntu 15.04.  
   
  Install method: Network install
    
  Install ISO Information: vivid-server-ppc64el.iso	 23-Feb-2015 14:25 	388M
   
  The initrd has an older set of fw files and not the one the driver is expecting to load:

  /lib/firmware/bnx2x # ls
  bnx2x-e1-7.8.19.0.fw   bnx2x-e1h-7.8.19.0.fw  bnx2x-e2-7.8.19.0.fw
  /lib/firmware/bnx2x #
