To unload the driver, use ifconfig to bring down all eth# interfaces
opened by the driver, and then enter:
rmmod bnx2
If the driver was installed using the rpm command, enter the following
command to remove it:
rpm -e netxtreme2
Unloading the Driver from a TAR Installation
If the driver was installed using make install from the tar file, manually
delete the bnx2.o or bnx2.ko driver file from the operating system. See
“Installing the Source RPM Package” on page 68 for the location of the
installed driver.
Patching PCI
Files (Optional)
This is an optional procedure that describes how to patch PCI files for
identification by other vendors.
For hardware detection utilities, such as Red Hat kudzu, to properly
identify bnx2 supported devices, you may need to update a number of files
containing PCI vendor and device information.
Note
The examples used in this procedure refer to the bnx2 driver, but
also apply to the bnx2i driver.
Apply the updates by running the scripts provided in the supplemental tar
file. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, apply the updates by
entering the following commands:
./patch_pcitbl.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable
pci.updates 
/usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new bnx2
./patch_pciids.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
pci.updates 
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new
Next, back up the old files and the rename the new files by entering the
following copy commands:
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids /usr/share/hwdata/
old.pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new /usr/share/hwdata/
pci.ids
