10.3 Removing a Network Adapter

To remove a token-ring network adapter from the system, first ensure that there is no user on the system, and then perform the following steps:

1. Delete the network interface definition for the adapter:

   # ifconfig tr0 detach
   #
   

2. Delete the network interface driver for the adapter:

   # rmdev -l tr0 -d
   tr0 deleted
   #
   

3. Delete the adapter device from the system:

   # rmdev -l tok0 -d
   tok0 deleted
   #
   

4. Shutdown, power off the system, and remove the adapter physically.

5. Power on to reboot the system.

   If you do not physically remove the network adapter before powering on the system, the cfgmgr program will detect the network adapter during the system boot, unless it is an ISA adapter, and redefine the device tok0 in the Customized Devices object database.
