Wrong driver on a lan card

[Cherie Galloway]

Our V series was powered off and when it re-booted one of the lan cards grabbed the btlan3 driver instead of btlan6. How can I correct this problem.

You could try doing an rmsf -H followed by insf -d -H and then rebooting.

However, my guess, is you'll have to use rmsf and ioinit with an input file.

Run /dev/insf -d driver. Update /etc/rc.config.d/netconf INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan3 or
INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan6

Ron, you might also want to remove btlan3 from the kernel

[Rick Garland]

I just went through this last week. The btlan3 is included because this is the driver for the built in cards. So removing is really not an option. The /etc/rc.log is where I am assuming that you found the item thast says it is loading the btlan3 driver insterad of the btlan6. I am also assuming that you put some of the LAN patches on. For some reason, the name of the device (listed with lanscan) changed causing me to modify the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to look at the correct name.

Do the lanscan. If the situation is like mine, the HW Path of the cards is the same. But the NameUnit of the interface has changed. In which case, just modify the netconf file to the new name (and any other modifications as required) and all should be well.
Verification of this issue can be completed with doing an ifconfig on the card using an IP address that is not in use. If the card picks up and starts working, it is not 100% that it is a driver issue. The netconf file needs the modifications.
