The exact steps involved in removing a card will vary depending
on the type of system in which the card is installed. However, the
process is not difficult and you should be able to successfully
remove a card without receiving any error messages by using the
following process:
Edit any of the following files that
contain Ethernet card configuration entries:
| /etc/re.config.d/netconf |
| /etc/rc.config.d/hp<drivername>conf |
Replace <drivername> with the filename for
the driver you use. For example: /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf
Remove or remark out the configuration entries that refer
to the card being removed. If there are multiple Ethernet cards
in your system, be sure you edit the entry for the correct card.
See the sections on installing and configuring the card if
you need more detailed information.
Power down the system. Note: Just removing power
to the card’s section is not sufficient.
Remove the card from the system.
Restart the system.
