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.
Hi Chris,
This bug (678429) should be fixed with kernel 2.6.32-131.0.15. (see:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0542.html) Kernel 2.6.32-134.el6
is not publicly available.
Do you have kernel-firmware installed? rpm -qi kernel-firmware
If the problem still exists please reply to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678429
Best regards,
Morten
