Broadcom NIC using bnx2x module do not detect a link under RHEL 6.5 and 6.6
Issue
bnx2x
driver / ethernet card do not link up under RHEL 6.5 and 6.6- However if I boot under an older 6.2 kernel it seems to work okay.
- I've updated both the firmware on the card and the system firmware on the server but neither seems to have helped.
- kernel
2.6.32-220.el6
works, kernel2.6.32-431.11.2.el6
or2.6.32-504.el6
