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 bnx2x supported devices, you may need to update a number of
files containing PCI vendor and device information.
Apply the updates by running the scripts provided in the supplemental tar
file. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, apply the updates by
entering the following commands:
./patch_pcitbl.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable
pci.updates
/usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new bnx2x
./patch_pciids.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
pci.updates
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new
Next, back up the old files and rename the new files by entering the
following copy commands:
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids /usr/share/hwdata/
old.pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new /usr/share/hwdata/
pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable /usr/share/hwdata/
old.pcitable
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new /usr/share/hwdata/
pcitable
Network
Installations
For network installations through NFS, FTP, or HTTP (using a network
boot disk or PXE), a driver disk that contains the bnx2x driver may be
needed. The driver disk images for the most recent Red Hat and SuSE
versions are included. Boot drivers for other Linux versions can be
compiled by modifying the Makefile and the make environment. Further
information is available from the Red Hat website at
www.redhat.com .
Setting Optional
Properties for the
bnx2x Driver
The disable_msi optional property can be used as a command line
argument to the insmod or modprobe command. The property can also be
set in the
modprobe.conf
command. See the man page for more
information.
All other driver settings can be queried and changed using the ethtool
utility. See the
ethtool
man page for more information. The ethtool
settings do not persist across a reboot or module reload. In addition, you
can put the ethtool commands in a startup script, such as /etc/rc.local, to
