The messages are pictured above in my 2:49PM post, The messages show up every 300 seconds\ \ A: Ed S 12/28/2022 - One option is to unbind the driver: ``` echo -n "30bf0000.ethernet" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-dwmac/unbind ``` Note: The redirected file may be opened by the shell before the "sudo echo" command is executed, therefore If the shell is not already root (via "sudo -i") a different form is needed: ``` sudo sh -c "echo -n 30bf0000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-dwmac/unbind" ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
