Verifying Board Recognition
To verify that the operating system has located the Gigabit Ethernet board, use the Linux
PCI utilities lspci(8) command, as follows:
% lspci
...
0b:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715 Gigabit Ethernet (rev a3)
0b:04.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715 Gigabit Ethernet (rev a3)
In 0b:04.0 Ethernet controller identification, 0b is the bus number, 04 is the
slot number, and 0 is the port, respectively.
Verifying Board Configuration and Enabling
Use the installation tool that comes with your operating system to install and configure
the Ethernet board.
You can use the ifconfig -a command to verify the configuration information, as
follows:
