While trying to see if my issue with the RHEL 5.4 version of this package (Bug #549771) was solved in Fedora, I found that the current version of the iscsi-initiator-utils package (6.2.0.870-10) does not include support for the current version of the bnx2i module that are shipped with the fedora kernel. I tried to rebuild the source RPM from RHEL5.4, but was unable to to get it to work. (I got error "4 - encounter connection failure"). Can a updated version of iscsi-initiator-utils be pushed to fedora?
(In reply to comment #0) > Can a updated version of iscsi-initiator-utils be pushed to fedora? I am working on this. The code in RHEL 5 is not upstream yet. Broadcom and I are working on it and should be done in a month or so and then I can merge it in Fedora.
Hello, any update on the iscsi-initiator-utils package for Fedora ? I am also trying to use the bnx2i with Fedora. Bruno
Adding Benjamin Li from Broadcom who is working on this.
Hi Phillip and Bruno, I talked with my manager today and the plan is to introduce/integrate during the RHEL 6.1 timeframe once there is time and resource avaliable. Thanks again. -Ben
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
