[CI] New NIC

[Marc-Andre H. <mah...@tc...>]

Dear Openssi developers,

I am running a cluster node1 on a RedHat 9 machine.  

I would like to add a new network card module for a new node, node2, the
RTL8139 NIC.

Is there an easy way to proceed?

Best Regards to all of you,

Marc-Andre from Montreal, Qc.

Add the line 'alias eth-extra rtl8139' to /etc/modules.conf (assuming 
rtl8139 is the name of the driver). Run the following command to rebuild 
your ramdisk:

mkinitrd -f --cfs /boot/initrd-<kernel_version>.img <kernel_version>

Run ssi-ksync to distribute the updated ramdisk.

You can determine what kernel versions you have installed by looking in 
/lib/modules. The <kernel_version> for the OpenSSI 1.0.0-rc6 release is 
2.4.20-31.9_ssi_5smp.

Hope this helps,

Brian
