When you update the firmware on a Broadcom NetXtreme and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx (previously known as Broadcom NetXtreme ||) adapters, the following issue occurs: After installing the QLogic-specific firmware update package on the BCM57xx or BCM57xxx adapter family, the rollback version is not available if the previously installed firmware was provided by a legacy shared firmware update package. However, if the legacy shared firmware version is available as a rollback version for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapter, then the same version is available for the QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters.
The issue occurs because separate firmware update packages are provided for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapters and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters due to the acquisition of the Broadcom NetXtreme || cards by QLogic. Prior to the acquisition, a common shared firmware update package was provided.
