[Users] Legacy OpenVZ and NETDEV with firmware

[Johan Wilfer]

Hi Vasily,

Tank you for replying!

I've tried to copy all firmware from the host to the VE, but the end 
result are the same (after restarting the VE of course).

I'm unsure about the previous kernel working, but I see the following 
kernels installed:

drwxr-xr-x 30 root root    4096 sep 14 18:01 
2.6.32-openvz-042stab111.11-amd64
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root    4096 okt 27 13:08 
2.6.32-openvz-042stab112.15-amd64
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root    4096 jan  5 15:22 
2.6.32-openvz-042stab113.11-amd64

I think it was working with 2.6.32-openvz-042stab112.15-amd64 or at 
least 2.6.32-openvz-042stab111.11-amd64.
