Broadcom, Do you just need bnx2i and cnic changes? Or are you going to need some bnx2x/bnx2 changes too? Do the patches for each driver/module have dependencies with each other? The bnx2i changes (mainly bug fixes) should be more or less independent. Some of the cnic changes may have dependencies on the updated bnx2x/bnx2 drivers and firmwares. The bnx2i changes that we like to be included in rhels5.6 are as follows: 1. BNX2I-Optimized-the-bnx2i_stop-connection-clean-up-p.patch - fixes the ifup/down, mtu change, netdev down ep_disconnect issues with active session under different conditions. It has dependency on: BNX2I-Separated-the-hardware-s-cleanup-procedure-fro.patch BNX2I-Created-an-active-linklist-which-holds-bnx2i-e.patch 2. BNX2I-Fine-tuned-conn-destroy-and-context-destroy-ti.patch - fixes a condition where iscsi_endpoint leak was seen 3. BNX2I-Fixed-the-TCP-graceful-termination-initiation.patch - fixes a tcp termination issue with RFC793 compliance 4. BNX2I-Added-host-param-ISCSI_HOST_PARAM_IPADDRESS.patch - adds the host ipaddress sysfs attribute as its proven useful during pivot root 5. BNX2I-Fixed-bugs-in-the-handling-of-unsolicited-NOP-.patch - fixes unsolicited NOP-Ins handling which caused chip panic in 5771X Thanks! in kernel-2.6.18-221.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5 Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed. ~~ Attention Customers and Partners - RHEL 5.6 Public Beta is now available on RHN ~~ A fix for this 'OtherQA' BZ should be present and testable in the release.
