Its getting late locally, so take this with a grain of salt... I'm pretty
sure I grabbed the main branch from git, and effectively did a MFC (working
with 13.2-RELEASE). Looking at the diffs you pointed me to vs. whats on the
disk, it looks like I have the latest bits, but I'll check it again
tomorrow to be sure. Its possible I'm missing something.

The problem is consistent. When the adapters try to come up, and I'm using
them as kernel modules right now just so I can cycle through testing
faster, I continue to get

"isp_2700 could not load firmware image, error 2"

if I don't hack up the ispfw driver/module to have something that meets the
name requirements for "isp_2700" firmware.

and if I try to create a firmware module it can install with the
bk014519.bin firmware file, it'll happily find something for firmware, but
then throws a:
isp0: Mailbox Command (0xb) Timeout (100000us) (isp_reset:373)
isp0: Mailbox Command 'LOAD RISC RAM' failed (TIMEOUT)
isp0: F/W download failed
isp0: isp_reinit: cannot reset card
device_attach: isp0 attach returned 6

So, what I think is missing is either a.) finding a good firmware image
that I can load via the driver, or b.) figuring out how to flash firmware
to the adapter via some other means, and figure out how to skip the load
step when the driver starts. Hence why I'm hoping to find someone who has
the card working, so I can clone their process.

But, if anyone has other ideas, I'm all ears.
