How to add on-board network interface in the system:

echo 'iprb "pci8086,1038"' >> /etc/driver_aliases
ifconfig iprb0 plumb # OR "touch /reconfigure; init 6", but bit I didn't check this method
echo `hostname` > /etc/hostname.iprb0
sync
reboot

And configure this interface to using dhcp:

  1. Edit /etc/default/dhcpagent by root user ( previously need to add write permissions to this file ). Need to uncomment and modify entry:
RELEASE_ON_SIGTERM=yes
  1. Create appropriate interface file to enable dhcp:
touch /etc/dhcp.iprb0
  1. Reboot the machine.
