Hopefully this is the right list, but here goes.

I realize there was just a kernel update, however there's been bug with 
the bnx2 Broadcom driver which "apparently" has been fixed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678429

Previously I had to compile/install the driver directly from Broadcom's 
src.rpm to get my NIC to come up properly.  With the latest kernel 
update ( 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64  ), we actually had to edit the spec 
and apply a patch because the newer kernel was shipped with conflicting 
definitions to the broadcom source.  The default bnx2 that came with the 
latest kernel update still didn't work without recompiling the module.

According to the bug report linked things may be working properly in 
kernel-2.6.32-134.el6.

So with all that, my main questions are: Is anyone else experiencing 
this, and can anyone else verify that its actually been fixed in the 
upstream kernel?

Thanks,
