This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. After speaking to Laurie - she didn't think a firmware update was required, only the two patches. Andrius - there's been some confusion. This last change is required to the driver for BE3 fw download support. I misunderstood you on today's call saying that the actual firmware itself was being submitted upstream and into the distros which is not required or desirable to Emulex. thx Laurie OK - sounds like this request is complete then, and Emulex is only requesting the patchset in Comment #1 - Ivan, passing this to you now. No problem, I assume I will send it tomorrow for review. Sounds like these patches are still awaiting upstream acceptance, correct Subbu/Laurie? Andrius, yes, two are upstream now but the following were submitted to netdev@... but were not applied by Dave yet: be2net: Bug fix to support newer generation of BE ASIC be2net: bug fix in be_change_mtu be2net: bug fix for flashing the BladeEngine3 ASIC be2net: remove ASIC generation number from Kconfig be2net: change the driver description be2net: bug fix in be_read_eeprom [root@hp-dl360g6-02 ~]# modinfo be2net filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-192.el5/kernel/drivers/net/benet/be2net.ko license: GPL author: ServerEngines Corporation description: ServerEngines BladeEngine 10Gbps NIC Driver 2.102.115r version: 2.102.115r An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
