Question: Why and how to flash Broadcom firmware?
1. Broadcom 5704/5721/57xx nic doesn't support ASF/IPMI by default. So you need to
flash their ASF/IPMI firmware and set static IP in Nvram(Broadcom firmware share
MAC/IP mode need set static IP , only for M3289).
2. Broadcom firmware download link:
ftp://tsosmdc2:7ctfeb@66.122.195.2/driver_device/TSOSMDC/TSO_012204/fw/Br
