Installing the LAN over USB Linux device driver

Versions of Linux since RHEL5 Update 3 and SLES10 Service Pack 2 support the
LAN over USB interface by default. This interface is detected and displayed during
the installation of these operating systems.
See Table 13 on page 107 for information about the IP addresses.
Note: Older Linux distributions might not detect the LAN over USB interface, and
might require manual configuration. For information about configuring LAN over
USB on specific Linux distributions, see the IBM white paper Transitioning to UEFI
and IMM at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/
docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-5079769.
The IMM LAN over USB interface requires that the usbnet and cdc_ether device
drivers be loaded. If the drivers have not been installed, use modprobe to install
them. When these drivers are installed, the IMM USB network interface is shown
as a network device in the operating system. To discover the name that the
operating system has assigned to the IMM USB network interface, type:
dmesg | grep -i cdc ether
