INTRODUCTION
This section discusses the Linux drivers for the Broadcom NetXtreme II network adapters.
Table 1: Broadcom NetXtreme II Linux Drivers
Linux Driver Description
bnx2 Linux driver for the NetXtreme II 1 Gb network adapters.
bnx2x Linux driver for the NetXtreme II 10 Gb network adapters. This driver directly controls
the hardware and is responsible for sending and receiving Ethernet packets on
behalf of the Linux host networking stack. This driver also receives and processes
device interrupts, both on behalf of itself (for L2 networking) and on behalf of the
bnx2fc (FCoE) and cnic drivers.
cnic The cnic driver provides the interface between Broadcom’s upper layer protocol
(e.g., storage) drivers and Broadcom’s NetXtreme II 1 Gb and 10 Gb network
adapters. The CNIC module works with the bnx2 and bnx2x network drives in the
downstream and the bnx2fc (FCoE) and bnx2i (iSCSI) drivers in the upstream.
bnx2i Linux iSCSI HBA driver to enable iSCSI offload on the NetXtreme II 1 Gb and 10 Gb
network adapters.
bnx2fc Linux FCoE kernel mode driver used to provide a translation layer between the Linux
SCSI stack and the Broadcom FCoE firmware/hardware. In addition, the driver
interfaces with the networking layer to transmit and receive encapsulated FCoE
frames on behalf of open-fcoe’s libfc/libfcoe for FIP/device discovery.
