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.
-
Check to see if the Ethernet driver is configured in the /etc/pse.conf file:
# egrep 'ethernet driver' /etc/pse.conf
-
In the output, examine the line containing the "ethernetdriver" expression:
#d+ dlpi en /dev/dlpi/en # streams dlpi ethernet driver
-
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
-
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.
-
Save and close the file.
-
To load the dlpi driver, enter:
# strload -f /etc/dlpi.conf
