  while installation

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Network install using Broadcom bnx2x based NICs is failing.  This
  appears to be a repeat of LP bug 1378491 as the dmesg log is reporting
  errors like the following:

  [   15.754906] bnx2x 0003:80:00.0: Direct firmware load for bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.12.30.0.fw failed with error -2

  A scan of the initrd from /ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/main/installer-
  ppc64el/20101020ubuntu419/images/netboot shows that the firmware files
  are downrev:
