. I then reboot my machine and am getting no nic access? I'm confused.. help!
Well i checked my /lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net and the dmfe.o module
is there. Also checked modules.dep and it has no dependencies. So insmod
will load the module in the running kernel.
Don't reboot, just keep on running now and run lsmod to see a list
of loaded modules. If you want the module to auto-load then you could put an
alias for eth0 in /etc/modutils/storm : alias eth0 dmfe.o and then run
update-modules. Or put a line in /etc/modules: dmfe to load it at boot.
You should check /etc/network/interfaces. If you have DHCP its a
simple one line entry. Then run ifup eth0 to bring the NIC up and running.
You can then check it with ifconfig eth0. You can also have Storm
SAS do most of the work by making the required entries.
