Two indications occur when the NEM is detected properly.

When the lspci -v command is run, output similar to the following is reported:

# lspci -n |grep 2078
1b:00.0 0200: 108e:2078 (rev 01)
1c:00.0 0200: 108e:2078 (rev 01)

If the driver is installed, when the ifconfig -a command is run, ethx device associated with the NEM is shown in the output:

# ifconfig -a

If none of these indications are shown, then the issue is present on the blades.
