After downloading and installing the Sniffer10G software from the Sniffer10G Download Page via
# pkg_add #SNF_PKG_NAME # /usr/local/opt/snf/sbin/myri_start_stop start
the following procedure will automatically load the driver at boot time.
-
# cp /usr/local/opt/snf/sbin/myri_start_stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/myri_start_stop
-
Once the file above is in the location specified, add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to load the modules on boot:
myri_enable="YES"
Important Note:
If you have configured mxge (Myri10GE driver) into your kernel, you will need to remove mxge from your kernel config file. Similarly, if you are using mxge as a module you will need to remove it (kldunload if_mxge). You should also remove ifconfig_mxgeX lines from /etc/rc.conf if you want to load the Sniffer10G driver at boot.
