Installed the recommended utility QConvergeConsole CLI - Version 2.4.0 to see information about the card and ports (Menu item 1 is selected). There is no information on the card.

I found the following table:
ISP 21XX — ql2100_fw.bin
ISP 22XX — ql2200_fw.bin
ISP 2300 — ql2300_fw.bin
ISP 2322 — ql2322_fw.bin
ISP 24XX — ql2400_fw.bin
ISP 25XX — ql2500_fw.bin
ISP 2031 — ql2600_fw.bin
ISP 27XX — ql2700_fw.bin
As I understood, for my card with the ISP 2031 chip I need ql2600_fw.bin. In the support section of the site https://www.marvell.com/support/downloads.html looked through all the archives for QLE2672 cards, I found nothing. Tried systems RHEL 8.4, AlmaLinux 8.4/8.6, Centos 7.9/8.3 the result is the same.
A solution to my problem:
Download kernel-firmware-qlogic and unpack. Copy the firmware file and restart the qla2xxx module.
