Uninstalling the QCC GUI

Installation Guide.
Patching PCI Files (Optional)
NOTE
The examples used in this procedure refer to the bnx2x driver, but also apply
to the bnx2fc and bnx2i drivers.
For hardware detection utilities, such as Red Hat kudzu, to properly identify bnx2x
supported devices, a number of files containing PCI vendor and device
information may need to be updated.
Apply the updates by running the scripts provided in the supplemental tar file. For
example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, apply the updates by doing the following:
./patch_pcitbl.sh
/usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new bnx2
./patch_pciids.sh /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids pci.updates
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new
Next, the old files can be backed up and the new files can be renamed for use.
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids /usr/share/hwdata/old.pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.new /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable /usr/share/hwdata/old.pcitable
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.new /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable

Network Installations

For network installations through NFS, FTP, or HTTP (using a network boot disk
or PXE), a driver disk that contains the bnx2x driver may be needed. The driver
disk images for the most recent Red Hat and SuSE versions are included. Boot
drivers for other Linux versions can be compiled by modifying the Makefile and the
make environment. Further information is available from the Red Hat website,
http://www.redhat.com.
