Updated be2net Driver for Emulex BladeEngine 3

This document (7009503) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Service Pack 4

Situation

The be2net driver included with SLES10 SP4 lacks support for both the Emulex BladeEngine 3 (BE3) and IBM x3750 M4 Dual port 10GB SFP+ Ethernet Adapter Card.

Resolution

To perform network installations and to use the BE3 device or IBM x3750 M4 Dual port 10GB SFP+ Ethernet Adapter Card after installation, an updated be2net driver is required. An ISO image with a new kernel and initrd with an updated be2net driver can be downloaded from http://drivers.suse.com/driver-process/pub/update/IBM/sle10sp4/sle10sp4be2netkiso/
