Re: [PATCH 1/4] bnx2: Update 5706/5708 firmware.

New firmware fixes a data corruption issue when receiving and
placing jumbo frames into host buffers.  In some cases, the
buffer descriptor is not updated correctly and this will lead
to the driver linking the wrong number of pages into the SKB.

I was hesistent to add this and the other firmware update to net-2.6,
but memory corruption is a very serious issue so applied.
