The procedure to get a firmware download for an IBM-rebadged Broadcom-formerly-Brocade device is infuriatingly Kafkaesque. Any worse and I'll turn into an insect.
Search on Broadcom - nope, need login.
Login... nope, not found.
Search IBM. Found! Give me file? No, just a link to Broadcom.
Still not resolved. The first verification didn't work. Tried a completely new account on a different business email address. Finally get approval email to download. Try to download, Broadcom site redirects me half a dozen times through various weird SSO URLs, then says "Permission denied".
Genuinely can't tell whether they are incompetent or malicious.
