OVERVIEW
This file describes how to install the Solaris driver for Broadcom's NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapters. Refer
to the 'bnxe' manual page for details on how to configure the driver.
The Solaris driver is released in two formats:
• BRCMbnxe- version .pkg: Datastream format
• BRCMbnxe- version .tar.Z: Compressed TAR file system format.
NOTE: A DU image does not exist at this time because of driver size limitations. Solaris DU diskettes can be used
to install the driver into the system both during system installation and/or after the system has been installed and
booted.
This driver only works with the GLDv3 Streams interface as it appears in Solaris 10 (Update 4) and later.
