I have a broadcom 5709 Quad NIC installed in my Dell server and two onboard 5721 cards:
when i run lsmod it lists the driver module as bnx2,
when i run modinfo bnx2 it shows that the driver is an old version:
How do i update this? I've downloaded the new broadcom drivers from the website: http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php but the instructions are fairly vague.
Code:
