Are you using Debian nfsroots? -> Have you tried installing the package
firmware-bnx2 into the nfsroot, updating the initrd and booting the
clients with this new initrd?

You have to add the "non-free" tag to the sources.list, or else the
firmware package won't be available.

P.S.: It may be necessary to add bnx2 to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
prior to updating the initrd. I'm not sure.
