• You have obtained the Hi1822 driver installation package and management software and uploaded them to the VM.

  Perform the following operations to obtain the package.

  2. The following uses uNIC_GuestOS_Driver_BM_2.21.8.B070.tar.gz as an example to describe how to obtain the required installation package.

     Download and decompress the uNIC_GuestOS_Driver_BM_2.21.8.B070.tar.gz driver package, and obtain the .rpm package kmod-hinic-5.0.0.7_3.10.0_957-1.el7.x86_64.rpm based on the OS type and kernel version.
