Q
Check each of the lines starting with SUBSYSTEM=, to find the highest numbered
interface. (For standard motherboards, the highest numbered interface will
typically be 1.)
Add a new line at the end of the file, incrementing the interface number by one.
In this example, it becomes eth2. The new line will look like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="$MAC",
IMPORT="/sbin/ rename_netiface %k eth2"
This will appear as a single line in the file. $MAC is replaced by the string from
step 2 above.
4. Create the network module file:
/etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-eth-id-$MAC
Add the following lines to the file:
MODULE=ipath_ether
STARTMODE=auto
This will cause the ipath_ether Ethernet driver to be loaded and configured
during system startup.
5. Create the network configuration file:
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth2
If you are using DHCP (dynamically assigned IP addresses), add these lines
to the file:
STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’
_nm_name=eth-id-$MAC
Proceed to Step 6.
If you are you are using static IP addresses (not DHCP), add these lines to the
file:
STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=static
NAME=’InfiniPath Network Card’
NETWORK=192.168.5.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.5.255
IPADDR=192.168.5.211
_nm_name=eth-id-$MAC
Make sure that you substitute your own IP address for the sample IPADDR
shown here. The BROADCAST, NETMASK, and NETWORK lines need to
match for your network.
