Configure the card using your preferred configuration tool, or edit the initialization
script for the interface directly. On Red Hat, the file /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/ifcfg-eth0 might look something like this (substituting ethernet device
number, example: eth0, eth1, etc):
DEVICE='eth1'
BOOTPROTO='none'
ONBOOT='yes'
IPADDR=192.168.0.3
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
Note: You should also add a line to /etc/modules.conf for each interface as
shown in the following example:
SAMPLE MODULES.CONF FILE
alias eth1 dpm
alias eth2 dpm
alias eth3 dpm
alias eth4 dpm
options dpm ChipSelector=1 IntrHoldOff=0
Note: In order to load the Intel driver, the "ChipSelector=1" option is required in
the 'options' field of modules.conf. Please see man page for modules.conf for
additional information on module configuration.
MANUAL DRIVER INSTALLATION
insmod ./dpm.o # to insert driver module
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.3 # if not already configured by system
Once driver is inserted you may need to run "ifconfig" command or it may be run
automatically by the system.
MANUAL DRIVER REMOVAL
ifdown eth[n] # repeat for all 'dpm' network interfaces
rmmod dpm # to remove driver module
