If you want to test, the kernel here should work and has the new driver:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6-RC1/
Note: that is a 3.10.18 kernel and is currently in testing, but should work on the xen4centos6 repo
Looks like the new kernel is looking for a newer firmware:
bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:12263(eth0)]Can't load firmware file bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.8.17.0.fw
It seems broadcom NICs and the kernel interact strangely indeed ...
I am going to go about this in a different way .. instead of doing it piecemeal (which means I need individual people to tell me theirs is not working), I am just going to put every FW Driver for bn2x and bnx2x into the new kernel ... I am trying that now in a version that is 3.10.20-10. I am not sure why this is not being done now upstream, but lets see what happens.
I will send another email to the list if this builds .. when it is available.
OK, there is a newer kernel (3.10.20-11) that has all bn2x and bnx2x firmware that is in the kernel.org firmware git tree enabled. This should work for you. Please give it a try and let me know.
You may wish to consider having a separate firmware package and not including any firmware from the kernel.
FWIW, this is what we do in XenServer.
