Feature Id: [201110] Feature Name: Broadcom iSCSI support - bnx2iscsi Sponsor: xSeries Category: xSeries Request Type: Driver - Feature from Upstream 2. Short Description Broadcom recently submitted their iSCSI driver for 570x based controllers to the open source community. Most System x servers have these controllers embedded on system boards. We are requesting that this driver (bnx2iscsi) be integrated into distro releases. Please see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=118619702115855&w=2 3. Business Case Customers with System x servers containing planar-embedded Broadcom 570X NICs will be able to have 'built-in' iSCSI support. Benefits Enable iSCSI support on network interfaces (bcm5706, bcm5708) prevalent on most System x servers. 4.

We won't be able to do this one as it would also require the openisci package which is not part of RHEL 4 and not planned to be added. Bnx2x is planned for updating.
bnx2 and bnx2x will both be updated, but bnx2 will not have iscsi support in el4.
