Why do you think it is not in 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5?
Because the network card is not recognized (ifconfig does not show
it). A few minutes ago I found a driver (SRPM) on the HP site
which I compiled and installed. After restarting the network service
the network card (eth2 in my case) is shown.
The driver is there - and so should have worked with a 'modprobe
netxen_nic'.
I will try that tomorrow.
Note that the advantage to using the vendor source is that the
firmware comes with it (and the vendor might even support it) .. and
the obvious disadvantage is that you need to rebuild on every kernel update..
cheers, etc.
This one I compiled and installed today:
[r...@fep ~]# lsmod | grep nx
nx_nic 254444 0
bnx2 216653 0
[r...@fep ~]# modinfo nx_nic
