1. 下載原廠提供之 driver source

1.1 至Broadcom原廠下載並解開
http://zh-tw.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii10.php
下載 Linux 部分: linux-5.2.55.zip

1.2 解開 zip

$ unzip -d ~/tmp linux-5.2.55.zip

2. 安裝 compile 需要工具

$ sudo yum install rpm-build gcc kernel-devel.x86_64

3. 用 src.rpm進行編譯與安裝

3.1安裝 src.rpm
$ cd ~/tmp/Server/Linux/Driver/ ; sudo rpm -ivh netxtreme2-5.2.55-1.src.rpm
   1:netxtreme2             ########################################### [100%]

3.2 編譯與安裝
$ cd /usr/src/redhat/ ; sudo rpmbuild -bb SPECS/netxtreme2.spec

確認沒錯誤訊息後，在 /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/下應該會編譯完成  netxtreme2-5.2.55-1.x86_64.rpm . 確認並安裝

$ sudo rpm -ivh RPMS/x86_64/netxtreme2-5.2.55-1.x86_64.rpm

4.載入並確認版本

4.1 載入 bnx2x 模組(若必要的話，要先移除)

$ sudo /sbin/rmmod bnx2x ; sudo /sbin/modprobe bnx2x

4.2 確認目前driver 版本

$ sudo /sbin/modinfo bnx2x
