Detect Centos NIC driver module
Hello, I have this problem that a new network card is not supported by my Centos operating system and hence I had to recompile the vendor drivers from scratch and create a new RPM package that seems to install properly, specifically in:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-92elPAE/updates/ *.ko /sbin/bnx2id Occasionally the NIC is detected after a couple of reboots but mostly not and I wonder how I can troubleshoot to make sure that it is always detected after installation? I heard that you can use modprobe to load specific modules but should not the new modules at least be loaded into kernel after reboot? It is a bit urgent for me to solve this problem so all help is greatly appreciated! |
Does your NIC start working again after you issue a
Code:
modprobe <module_name> Do you see any problems related to your NIC in the output of dmesg? |

The NIC was still not detected so I had to do another reboot and this time the network card was detected. This is progress but I need to make the NIC available without booting so is still possible and what command would I use? Is it also possible to do a post-install script that would set all network settings when the NIC is available? |
