Hopefully this is the right list, but here goes.

I realize there was just a kernel update, however there's been bug with the bnx2 Broadcom driver which "apparently" has been fixed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678429

Previously I had to compile/install the driver directly from Broadcom's src.rpm to get my NIC to come up properly. With the latest kernel update ( 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 ), we actually had to edit the spec and apply a patch because the newer kernel was shipped with conflicting definitions to the broadcom source. The default bnx2 that came with the latest kernel update still didn't work without recompiling the module.

According to the bug report linked things may be working properly in kernel-2.6.32-134.el6.

So with all that, my main questions are: Is anyone else experiencing this, and can anyone else verify that its actually been fixed in the upstream kernel?

Thanks,
-Chris
