Use the following commands to collect kernel system information and network settings on a Linux Machine:

In A computer must have the proper network settigns in order for a computer to communicate with other computers either on a local area network, a few network settings must be assigned to the computer. A few more are needed if those computers are or on the Internet or other LANs. Follow the steps The procedure below could be used to collect the following network settings and some useful system information of on a host in the Matrix ClusterLinux machine:

You can use Follow the same steps to collect the same information procedure on matrix.senecac.on .ca and your own Fedora Core machineto collete those network settings and system information.

* Login On any Linux machine with Internet connection, run the ssh client to login to matrix.senecac.on.ca using your email account and password:

uname -a * Use the command "man uname" to display the manual page for the command "uname" and use it to decode the output of the "uname" command.You should record the output of the "uname" command for later use.* Type the following command to display the host name of the machine you are on: hostname* Type the command /sbin/lspci to display all the PCI devices detected by the Linux kernel. Record the output, especially look for the line that contains the words "Ethernet controller". /sbin/lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 05) ...* Each piece of periphal hardware need a program (device driver) to control it. Most of the hardware device drivers are implemented on Linux as loadable kernel modules. The command /sbin/lsmod can be used to display all currently loaded kernel modules (i.e. hardware device drivers). /sbin/lsmod Module ...

You can obtain more information about each loadable kernel module withe the command /sbin/modinfo: raymond@matrix:~> /sbin/modinfo mii filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.5-default/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko author: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> description: MII hardware support library license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.18.8-0.5-default SMP mod_unload 586 REGPARM gcc-4.1 supported: yes depends: srcversion: 16DCEDEE4B5629C222C352D* Try the command on each of the module listed and determine which one is the device driver for the network interface card. Record the location (filename) of the device driver of the network interface card.
