Created attachment 472679 [details]
Latest release of brcm_iscsiuio which works with the 1.6x.xx bnx2x

Attached is the latest version (0.6.2.13) of the brcm_iscsiuio source that we released for our out-of-box solution.

The current version that's in RHELS6.0 is from the brcm_iscsiuio-0.5.xx branch which is not compatible with the 1.6x.xx bnx2x submission.

Since the changes from the 0.5.xx branch is too different from the 0.6.2.xx branch, we recommend re-basing the brcm_iscsiuio with this 0.6.2.13 for RHELS6.1.

Thanks,
Eddie

uIP 0.6.2.13 (which is part of iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21) supports 57712 devices, static IPv6 addressing, and VLAN tag (when there is a corresponding L2 VLAN tag with a valid IP on the same subnet as the HBA).  

These features has been verified in the RH6.1 RC build (kernel 2.6.32-131.0.13).
