Modifying /etc/pse.conf to enable the dlpi driver

The file /etc/pse.conf must be configured to enable the Streams DLPI driver. The following procedure describes checking the file and modifying it, if necessary, and loading the dlpi driver.

1. Check to see if the Ethernet driver is configured in the /etc/pse.conf file:

   # egrep 'ethernet driver' /etc/pse.conf

2. In the output, examine the line containing the "ethernetdriver" expression:

   #d+ dlpi en /dev/dlpi/en # streams dlpi ethernet driver

3. 3. If the comment symbol ("#") precedes the line, the DLPI driver is not configured. Using vi or another text editor, edit the file:

   # vi /etc/pse.conf

4. Find the section in the file labeled "#PSE drivers" and look for the line shown in step 2. Uncomment the line by removing the initial "#" symbol.
5. Save and close the file.
6. To load the dlpi driver, enter:

   # strload -f /etc/dlpi.conf
