Linux – How to load the dumthe network adapter in linux if it’s not as a module

You can do it by using this simple one way command, which uses the /proc/modules and /sys virtual filesystems:

cat /proc/modules | cut -f 1 -d " " | while read module; do \
 echo "Module: $module"; \
 if [ -d "/sys/module/$module/parameters" ]; then \
  ls /sys/module/$module/parameters/ | while read parameter; do \
   echo -n "Parameter: $parameter --> "; \
   cat /sys/module/$module/parameters/$parameter; \
  done; \
 fi; \
 echo; \
done

You will obtain an output like this:

...

Hope this helps.

A grep CONFIG_HYPERV /boot/config-2.6.32-5-amd64 shows CONFIG_HYPERV is not set. It appears that Debian has chosen not to build those modules. I am reading about it, several articles mention hv not being well supported by MS, and some people want to drop it.

I looked and the hv source is present in the 2.6.32 kernel source package (drivers/staging/hv). One thing you could do is install the kernel source package and the kernel-package tool. (apt-get install apt-get install linux-source-2.6 libncurses-dev kernel-package) Extract the source, copy /boot/config-2.6.32-5-amd64 to .config, use make menuconfig and enable the hyperv drivers. Then compile your kernel with make-kpkg.

For kernels with version >3.0 the drivers are no more located in staging. The new locations a described here: http://dietrichschroff.blogspot.de/2013/03/hyper-v-compile-linux-kernel-with.html
