Removing A Nxge Vlan With The Vconfig Command Causes System To Hang On Linux Platforms (Cr 6509980); Unable To Remove Nxge Driver In A Linux Environment (Cr 6715147) - Sun Microsystems Dual Release Notes

Removing a nxge VLAN With the vconfig
Command Causes System to Hang on Linux
Platforms (CR 6509980)
There are three possible workarounds:
1. If the main interface is not active and if no other VLANs or trunking is
configured, do not do anything. After some time, the tx reclaim will activate
after the threshold has been reached (that is, for the current configuration, 64
packets have been transmitted) and the vconfig rem command is returned.
2. If the main interface is not active, enter the ping command. After the threshold
number of packets have been transmitted, vconfig rem command can be run
successfully.
3. If the main interface is not active and if there is no other VLANs or trunking
configured on the main interface, bring the main interface down and then execute
the vconfig rem command.
Unable to Remove nxge Driver in a Linux
Environment (CR 6715147)
On clients running SUSE Linux 10 SP1 and SUSE 10, the nxge driver might not get
completely removed when using the rpm -e command. If driver package removal is
attempted when the driver is not loaded, the removal could fail. For example:
# rpm -e nxge-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp-2.1-1.x86_64
ERROR: Removing ?nxge?: No such file or directory
error: %postun(nxge-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp-2.1-1.x86_64) scriptlet
failed, exit status 255
Workaround: In the case of such failure, use the --noscripts option as follows:
# rpm -e --noscripts nxge-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp-2.1-1.x86_64
