F.6. Adding a Network Device
The process of adding a network device has changed greatly for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is
due in part to the migration of the 2.4 kernel to the 2.6 kernel:
• The proc file system is no longer used to control or obtain status on network devices.
• The new sys file system now provides facilities for controlling devices.
• /sys/class/net/<interface_name>/device now provides status on active devices.
<interface_name> is a name such as eth0 or ctc2 that is given to a network interface by the
device driver when the device is configured.
• /etc/chandev.conf no longer exists.
The sys file system now contains the information that was placed in /etc/chandev.conf.
• /etc/modules.conf no longer exists.
Network interface alias specifications are now placed in /etc/modprobe.conf.
Section F.6.1 Adding a qeth Device describes in detail how to add a qeth device to an existing in-
stance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Section F.6.2 Quick Reference for Adding Network Devices is a
quick reference for installing other zSeries network interfaces.
F.6.1. Adding a qeth Device
First, determine whether the qeth device driver modules are loaded.
# lsmod | grep qeth
qeth 135240 0
qdio 45360 2 qeth
ipv6 303984 13 qeth
ccwgroup 15104 1 qeth
If the output of the lsmod command shows that the modules are not loaded, you must run the
modprobe command to load them:
# modprobe qeth
Next, create a qeth group device.
# echo <read_device_bus_id>,<write_device_bus_id>,<data_device_bus_id>
> /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/group
Due to the length of this command, it has been broken into two lines.
