rpm -e netxtreme2

If the driver was installed using make install from the tar file, the

before unloading the driver module.
If the cnic driver is loaded, unload the cnic driver before unloading the
bnx2x driver.
Prior to unloading the bnx2i driver, disconnect all active iSCSI sessions
to targets.
