To reload the network card driver, you can use the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, identify the name of the network card driver that you need to reload. You can use the following command to view the currently loaded network card drivers:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    lsmod | grep <driver_name>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Next, uninstall the currently loaded network card driver using the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      sudo modprobe -r <driver_name>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Next, reload the network card driver.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        sudo modprobe <driver_name>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Finally, use the following command to check if the network card driver has been successfully reloaded:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          lsmod | grep <driver_name>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          This will allow you to reload the network card driver.
