[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 and EL6 Updated kmod-bnx2 Release [2.2.5f-1]

[Alan Bartlett]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-bnx2 packages into the EL5 and
EL6 elrepo repositories:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-bnx2

This package provides an updated bnx2 NIC driver, version 2.2.5f-1,
supporting the following PCI bus devices:

14E4:1639
14E4:163A
14E4:163B
14E4:163C
14E4:164A
14E4:164C
14E4:16AA
14E4:16AC

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-bnx2

Once the package has been installed, remember to unload the existing
driver before loading the updated version into the kernel:

/sbin/ifdown ethN
/sbin/modprobe -r bnx2
/sbin/modprobe bnx2
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
