How can I do so? > Thanks in Advanced.. Device ed1 is a "pseudo" device compiled into the network code, so you won't see an entry in /dev. However you can do ifconfig -a to see what network devices are configured... If ed1 was probed it should show up there. Note that you can look at /var/log/messages to see your boot log to make sure all devices were properly probed during boot.
