Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
This patch adds support for the Upstream be2net related request_firmware() needed in RHEL6. The patch is pending approval on netdev.

This patch is not fixing any problem; but adding a mechanism to flash a f/w image to NICs using ethtool.

I pulled in ethtool-2.6.33-0.1 that Jeff just build for Rawhide. He says it has this functionality. I'm not quite sure what state to put the bug in though.

I dont see ethtool -f supported in the ethtool command in the RHEL6 alpha release. Should I wait for Beta1 for this to show up ? Please let me know if you need anything from me to get this functionality.
Thanks.

I dont see the -f option in the ethtool command in beta1. Has this not been integrated yet ?
Comment 20Andrius Benokraitis

Probably because this wasn't included in Beta 1 in time. Please compare the version numbers of ethtool in Beta 1 compared to the "fixed in" field above.

Fixed in version field shows : ethtool-2.6.33-0.1.el6
rpm -qa in beta1 shows the version as ethtool-6-7.20090323git.1.el6.i686. What do I infer ?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. One or more confirmation reports have already been received confirming this. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
