    Why i get this error? Can i ignore it? I found something on internet about it, but nothing specific, i should install non free firmware?

    What error?
    The listing you show does not have any error messages.
    If you mean the warnings about missing firmware, does that host have any tigon devices, or whatever those firmwares would be for?
    Internet Search Engines with
    Code:
    W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin for module tg3
    
    can tell you more.
