Loading the qeth device driver modules

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 LPAR mode z/VM guest

You must load the qeth device driver before you can work with qeth devices.

Use the modprobe command to load the qeth device driver, and to automatically load all required additional modules in the correct order:

qeth module syntax

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagrammodprobe  qeth qeth_l2 qeth_l3
where:
qeth
is the core module that contains common functions that are used for both layer 2 and layer 3 disciplines.
qeth_l2
is the module that contains layer 2 discipline-specific code.
qeth_l3
is the module that contains layer 3 discipline-specific code.

When a qeth device is configured for a particular discipline, the driver tries to automatically load the corresponding discipline module.
