2. Verify that your network adapter supports iSCSI by checking the message
log. If the message, bnx2i: dev eth0 does not support iSCSI,
appears in the message log after loading the bnx2i driver, iSCSI is not
supported. This message may not appear until the interface is opened, as
with:
ifconfig eth0 up
3. To use iSCSI, refer to “Load and Run Necessary iSCSI Software
