Have you asked your question to Debian support ? They and I do not get along. More importantly, while at first glance this might seem to be the case, I don't think it is. The github repository at git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/bnx2x/ Is not a Debian thing. It is a kernel module thing for all distros. It is from there I downloaded the firmware (after it failed to load during install), and it is that which is failing. As I said, it could possibly be the realtek drivers also need to be loaded, and they are not, but I really would not expect it to be the case.
