Add-on device drivers
All Dell EMC, add-on device driver packages that are not on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 media are packaged as kernel module
packages (kmp). For devices that require updated drivers other than those present on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 media, see
Dell.com/support/home.
NOTE: If there are no driver packages available on Dell.com/support/home, your system does not require a driver update.
For a list of add-on device drivers that are installed on your system, type the following command at the command prompt: rpm -qa |
grep kmp.
NOTE: For more information on add-on drivers, see the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 driver update program at
www.drivers.suse.com.

Important information
biosdevname utility
In the earlier versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the interface names that are assigned by the operating system did not map to the
corresponding ports on the system board or on the add-in network adapters. For example, eth0 need not necessarily be associated with
port0 on the system board.
The biosdevname utility enables the operating system to logically assign and map Ethernet interface names with the respective
physical ports on the system board or the add-in network adapters.
The new naming convention is as follows:
Lan-On-
Motherboard
interfaces
em <port number>
(ethernet-on-motherboard <1,2,..>)
PCI add-in interfaces p<slot number>p<port number>_<virtual function instance>
For more information on the biosdevname utility and the new naming scheme, see www.linux.dell.com/les/whitepapers.
NOTE
: If you do not want to use the new naming scheme, you can turn if o during installation or post installation by passing the
kernel command line parameter biosdevname=0. The new naming scheme is enforced by default at the time of installation and
run time on supported Dell EMC systems.
