Loading the Ethernet Driver
By default, the Mellanox OFED stack loads mlx4_en. Run ‘lsmod’ to verify that the module is
listed.
Example:
Host# lsmod |grep mlx4_en
mlx4_en 114184 0
mlx4_core 156512 2 mlx4_ib,mlx4_en
If you don’t see the mlx4_en driver, run:
’ modprobe mlx4_en’
Another option is to use the command below to see which modules are active.

For example:
# Load MLX4_EN module
MLX4_EN_LOAD=yes
