We recently upgraded our 9672 G6 (with an OSA-2 card) to a z900 (with two
OSA-E cards).  I'm testing a SuSE Linux 2.2.16 distribution and currently
using
one of the OSA-Es in non-qdio mode.  Everything is working fine just like
with the 9672.

I would like to try the other OSA-E (which is genned for qdio).  I've look
through some of the redbooks and search the archives and I wasn't real sure
of the
command sequence to get Linux talking to OSA-E on at least a temporary
basis. Would the sequence be something like:

        insmod qdio
        insmod qeth qeth1,0x1500,0x1501,0x1502,portname=TESTPORT     [1500
is the device number]
        ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Thanks,
