The driver(s) must be loaded by the root user. Any attempt to load the driver(s) as a regular
user will fail.
2.1.

Loading NIC driver

Load the NIC driver using the command given below:
[root@host~]# kldload if_cxgbe
2.2.

Loading TOE driver

The TOE driver module (t4_tom.ko) is needed only if you plan to use the TOE and iWARP
capabilities, and must be loaded manually. Run the following command to do so:
[[root@host~]# kldload t4_tom
The NIC module (if_cxgbe) by itself can be loaded / unloaded at any time, but
Note
once the TOE driver module (t4_tom) is loaded, it will prevent both the modules
from being unloaded.
