Failure to Configure GigaSwift Ethernet Instance

If your machine fails to configure a GigaSwift Ethernet instance, yet

prtconf

indicates the adapter is present, the problem might be due to residue adapter
instances in the

path_to_inst

file.

To solve this problem, open the

path_to_inst

file for editing and remove the lines

containing

device path.

Reboot the machine and try to configure it again.
