rmmod e1000; modprobe e1000
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where <x> is the
interface number:
ifconfi g eth<x> <IP_address>
7. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address> is the IP
address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface that is being
tested:
ping <IP_address>
4-4 Command Line Parameters
If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used by entering
them on the command line with the
modprobe command using this syntax:
modprobe e1000 [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
For example, with two PRO/1000 PCI adapters, entering:
modprobe e1000 TxDescriptors=80,128
loads the e1000 driver with 80 TX descriptors for the first adapter and 128 TX
descriptors for the second adapter.
The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting, unless
otherwise noted.
NOTE: For more information about the AutoNeg , Duplex , and Speed
parameters, see the Speed and Duplex Configuration section in this document.
For more information about the InterruptThrottleRate , RxIntDelay , TxIntDelay ,
RxAbsIntDelay and TxAbsIntDelay parameters, see the application note at:

A descriptor describes a data buffer and attributes related to the data buffer.
