<br>
now built-in bnx2 module works fine on squeeze and lenny.<br>
<br>
bnx2 driver is updated to version 2.1.6<br>
<br>
# modinfo bnx2<br>
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-6-pve/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko<br>
firmware: bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09ax-6.0.17.fw<br>
firmware: bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw<br>
firmware: bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw<br>
firmware: bnx2/bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw<br>
firmware: bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw<br>
version: 2.1.6<br>
<br>
So i'll test it on a non critical production server , with msi-x enabled.<br>
the crash bug is random, so i'll test it during many days/week to see if now it's working correctly.<br>
<br>
I have another server with 2.6.32-6-pve kernel and 2.0.23b bnx2 driver, with msi-x disable workaround.<br>
<br>
I'll keep you in touch if the crash occur again.<br>

<br>
Do you know witch broadcom model does not work with debian or redhat source kernel ?<br>
rhel6 is pretty new, sound strange than it not support new hardware.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have recent Dell servers,and broadcom cards( 5709) are working without problem with debian and redhat.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I see a new kernel-2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.src.rpm kernel, I'll try to build it to see if it's work on squeeze and lenny.<br>
