The kmod-be2net-rhel5u7 package provides kernel modules for controlling Emulex

This enhancement update adds the kmod-be2net-rhel5u7 package to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 as part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Driver Update Program
(DUP). (BZ#742651)

the kmod-be2net-rhel5u7 package explicitly supports, this package must not be
installed.
