bnx2i Driver
The current version of the driver has been tested on 2.6.x kernels, starting
from 2.6.18 kernel. The driver may not compile on older kernels with the
exception of SLES 10 SP1, which runs 2.6.16.46 kernel. SUSE upgraded
the iscsi_transport kernel module in SLES 10 SP1. In addition, Broadcom
iSCSI offload initiators is supported on SLES 10 SP1. Testing is
concentrated on i386 and x86_64 architectures, Red Hat EL5, and SUSE
10 SP1 distributions.
Packaging
The Linux driver is released in the packaging formats shown in Table 3.
The netxtreme2 package contains the bnx2 (1 Gb network adapter) and
drivers for source RPM and compressed tar.
Identical source files to build the driver are included in both RPM and TAR
source packages. The supplemental tar file contains additional utilities
such as patches and driver diskette images for network installation.
The following updated open-iSCSI components are released in source
RPM format:
ˆ iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.868-0.7c.src.rpm: updated open-iscsi for Red
Hat 5 distributions
ˆ open-iscsi-2.0.707-0.25b.src.rpm: updated open-iscsi components for
SLES 10 SP1 distribution
ˆ open-iscsi-2.0.707-0.44b.src.rpm: updated open-iscsi components for
SLES 10 SP2 distribution
