GigMAC PMC and PCI Board and Driver Users Manual
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
