Issue

  • Why is one of my network drivers not loaded after reboot, but manual loading later works?
  • After update from 6.5 to 6.6 i am noticing that the netxen_nic driver is no longer loading after a reboot and requires manual intervention to load it. After reboot there are no interfaces available and i have to run the below to see them, any ideas? modprobe netxen_nic works.
