Setting up the qeth device driver

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest

No kernel or module parameters exist for the qeth device driver. qeth devices are set up using sysfs.

Loading the qeth device driver modules
If the qeth device driver was not built into the kernel, you must load it before you can work with qeth devices.
Switching the discipline of a qeth device
To switch the discipline of a device, the network interface must be shut down and the device must be offline.
Removing the modules
Removing a module is not possible if there are cross dependencies between the discipline modules and the core module.
