Are you all using the HP 5.5 U1 ISO released in March 2014? Or the just recently released updated June 2014 HP 5.5 U1 ISO?

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/vmware-esxi/driver_version.html

The March ISO contains the driver net-bnx2 - Version - 2.2.4f.v55.3, which is older than the reported driver in the message above. This might be the reason it refuses to update.

So make sure you're using the recent June HP ISO:
