▼To Set Driver Parameters Using an nxge.conf File
1.Obtain the hardware path names for the nxge devices in the device tree.
a.Check the /etc/driver_aliases file to identify the name associated with a particular device:
#grep nxge /etc/driver_aliases nxge "pciex108e,abcd"
b.Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
#grep nxge/etc/path_to_inst "/pci@780/pci@0/pci@8/network@0" 0 "nxge" "/pci@780/pci@0/pci@8/network@0,1" 1 "nxge"
■In this example:
■The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in the device tree.
■The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold italics for emphasis).
■The last part in double quotes is the driver name.

In this example:
■ | name = | "pciex108e,abcd" |
■ | parent | = "/pci@780/pci@0/pci@8/network@0" |
