Testing Network Connectivity

If you loaded a new driver, but have not yet booted, the modinfo command will
not show the updated driver information. Instead, type the following dmesg
command to view the logs. In this example, the last entry identifies the driver that
will be active upon reboot.
# dmesg | grep -i "QLogic" | grep -i "qede"
