Building the bnx2i Driver

To build the bnx2i Linux driver from the Source TAR file, do the following:

1.Create a directory and extract the TAR files to the directory by entering the following command:

tar xvzf bnx2-version.tar.gz

2.Build the driver bnx2.ko as a loadable module for the running kernel by entering the following command:

cd bnx2i-version/drivermake

3.Test the driver by loading it (if necessary, first unload the existing driver). Enter the following commands:

rmmod bnx2i insmod bnx2i.ko

4.Install the driver and man page, by entering: make install

Note

See the “Installing the Source RPM Package” on page 68 for the location of the installed driver.

5. Install the user daemon (bnx2id), by entering:

cd ${DRV_BASE}/driver make install_usr

The make install_usr command installs the bnx2id binary under /sbin.
