1 Device Drivers {#devicedrivers}
2 ==============
3 
4 This table contains a list of all available native drivers,
5 depending on the kernel version.
6 
7 The `generic` and the `ccat` driver are independent of the kernel version.
8 
9 To find out which native driver is required for your network card,
10 you can use `lspci -vv` or look in `/sys`:
11 ```sh
12 admin@ipc:~> ls -l /sys/class/net/eth5/device/driver
13 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 6. Nov 15:35 /sys/class/net/eth5/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/e1000
14 ```
15 or
16 ```sh
17 admin@ipc:~> basename $(readlink /sys/class/net/eth5/device/driver)
18 e1000
19 ```
20 
21 In this example, `eth5` uses the `e1000` driver.
