Note

On 2.6 kernels, it is not necessary to bring down the eth# interfaces
before unloading the driver module.

Note

If the cnic driver is loaded, unload the cnic driver before unloading
the bnx2 driver.

Note

Before unloading the bnx2i driver, disconnect all active iSCSI
sessions to targets.

To unload the driver, use ifconfig to bring down all eth# interfaces opened
by the driver, and then type the following:

rmmod bnx2

If the driver was installed using the rpm command, enter the following
command to remove it:

rpm -e netxtreme2

Unloading the Driver from a TAR Installation

If the driver was installed using make install from the tar file, manually
delete the bnx2.o or bnx2.ko driver file from the operating system. See
“Installing the Source RPM Package” on page 52 for the location of the
installed driver.

Patching PCI

Files (Optional)

This is an optional procedure that describes how to patch PCI files for
identification by other vendors.

For hardware detection utilities, such as Red Hat kudzu, to properly
identify bnx2 supported devices, you may need to update a number of files
containing PCI vendor and device information.

Note

The examples used in this procedure refer to the bnx2 driver, but
also apply to the bnx2i driver.
