Default kernel: bnx2i: iSCSI not supported, dev=ethX

Running CentOS 5.5 x86_64 on Dell R710 boxes. I have the server(s)
configured for bonding/vlan and will be using iscsi to a SAN. I am in
the pre-deployment stage so I am just setting up the basic cookie cutter
configurations so I haven't initiated the iscsi connection to a SAN yet.

While going through the error messages I noticed this error:

kernel: bnx2i: iSCSI not supported, dev=ethX.

First time I have seen this error while configuring previous Dell
servers, though I noticed most of my older boxes are using the tg3
module for the onboard NIC's.

Has anyone run into this error message and if so does it means what it
says....iSCSI not supported for the target device?

Thanks,
David

bnx2i, note the "i", is a hardware iSCSI offloading driver for the bnx2 NICs.

It means the iSCSI hardware acceleration is not enabled/possible for that NIC.

Mike: Maybe the message should be made a bit more clear..
