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.
