The server has two network cards. The driver for the first card is the module 8139too and the driver for the second card is the module ne2k-pci. How is it possible to ensure that the card using the 8139too driver is detected before the card using the ne2k-pci driver?
A.
modprobe 8139too dev=eth0; modprobe ne2k-pci dev=eth1
B.
install mod 8139too; install mod ne2k-pci
C.
modprobe eth0=8139too, eth1=ne2k-pci
D.
ifconfig modadd eth0=8139too, eth1=ne2k-pci
E.
modprobe 8139too; modprobe ne2k-pci
Explanation:
: At System booting time, tries to bring up the Ethernet devices, first try to eth0 and then eth1. We
can set the module to specific device using modprobe command modprobe 8139too dev=eth0 than means 8139too alias toeth0 and system first try to bring up the eth0 device.
I don’t think that A is right! “dev=eth0” or “dev=eth1” would be given as parameter belonging to the modules, but they don’t.
I thried “modprobe 8139too dev=eth0” on my system and got this Message:
“FATAL: Error inserting 8139too (/lib/modules/3.0.74-34-desktop/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)”!
dmesg: “8139too: Unknown parameter `dev'”
I think answer E would be the right one!
Thanks
