To Set Driver Parameters Using an ipge.conf
File

1. Obtain the hardware path names for the ipge devices in the device tree.

a. Check the /etc/driver_aliases file to identify the name associated with a

particular device:

b. Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers in the

/etc/path_to_inst

file.

■

In this example:

■

The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in
the device tree.

■

The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold
italics for emphasis).

■

The last part in double quotes is the driver name.

■

In the hardware node name, the last component after the last / character and
before the @ character is the device name.

■

The path name before the last component is the parent name.

■

The number after the final @ character within quotes is the unit-address.

To identify a PCI-E device unambiguously in the ipge.conf file, use the name,
parent name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the pci(4) man page for
more information about the PCI-E device specification.

In this example:

■

parent

= "/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/network@0"

# grep ipge /etc/driver_aliases

ipge "pciex8086,105e"

ipge "pciex8086,105f"

ipge "pci8086,105e"

ipge "pci8086,105f"

# grep ipge/etc/path_to_inst

"/pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0" 0 "ipge"

"/pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0,1" 1 "ipge"

"/pci@780/pci@0/pci@8/network@0" 2 "ipge"

"/pci@780/pci@0/pci@8/network@0,1" 3 "ipge"

"/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/network@0" 4 "ipge"

"/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/network@0,1" 5 "ipge"

"/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/network@0" 6 "ipge"

"/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/network@0,1" 7 "ipge"
