To install the Ethernet card driver for Linux OS:
1. Within the Linux Terminal, install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh netxtreme2-<version>.src.rpm
For Red Hat Linux:
For SuSE Linux:
2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
(For RHEL 6.0 and above,
For Red Hat Linux:
cd ~/rpmbuild
)
For SuSE Linux:

or
(For RPM version 4.x.x)

Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build the driver for a

rmmod cnic
5. Load the bnx2 driver for the BCM5706/BCM5708/5709/5716 devices:
insmod bnx2.o
or
insmod bnx2.ko
(on 2.6.x kernels)
or

devices:
insmod bnx2x.o
or
insmod bnx2x.ko
(on 2.6.x kernels)
or
