NIC driver installation. Need help.
Hi. I'm just a beginner in Linux. I have CentOS 5.1 installed on my PC (kernel 2.6.18-53.el5) with Asus P5K motherboard and Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter onboard. I've downloaded the nic driver as well as the kernel source (and even the kernel-devel package just in case). Doing so I followed these instructions. Thus I have the kernel source in:
/home/user/redhat/BUILD
and the nic driver in:
/home/user/driver/LAN/l1-linux-v1.2.40.2.tar.gz
As it follows from here it's possible to install a dkms-enabled driver package for the nic to solve the problem. But I'd like to install the original vendor version of the driver I downloaded. So I ungziped the tar-package to l1-linux-v1.2.40.2 directory. Then I tried to do what's been written in a readme-file. But trying to build a binary RPM* package of the driver this way:
rpmbuild -tb l1-linux-v1.2.40.2.tar.gz
I got this as a result:
error: File /home/user/driver/atl1/atl1-1.01.01.tar.gz: No such file or directory
I had copied the original l1-linux-v1.2.40.2.tar.gz to missing atl1-1.01.01.tar.gz and after running the same command got this:
Then I tried to make install from the driver src-directory but it followed with this output:Code:Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76249 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + LANG=C + export LANG + unset DISPLAY + $'\r' : command not found249: line 25: error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76249 (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76249 (%prep)
Makefile:62: *** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.
Pls, need help since I got stuck with this procedure of installation. Any examples or may be how-to links are very welcome. Thanks.
