BNX2 v1.7.1d-1 with Red Hat 5.2 Fails to Install

[Hayden,Robert]

Looking to see if anyone has ran into this issue before I contact HP Support.

I am working on getting Red Hat 5.2 (kernel 2.6.18-92.el5) installed on a HP BL460c blade and ran into an issue with the installation of the HP PSP 8.0.  In particular, I cannot install the BNX2 driver due to what appears to be duplicated definitions within the build files.  I have tried to download the latest BNX2 driver (1.7.1d.3-1) from HP support web site and it has the same issue when I manually attempt to install it.

Searching Google did not turn up any solutions but I did have a hit on a Dell list server of a similar issue: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2008-May/036295.html

Reviewing the header files, I do see duplicates in the bnx2.h and the kernel source headers for the variables mentioned below.

I am guessing that some definitions were moved into the kernel headers and not eliminated from the BNX2 headers or vice versa.  I do not have this issue with Red Hat 5.1
