Drivers problem, help..

[suseLover]

Hi I'm new in this forum so hi to all of you.

I working with open suse 11, and i have to create a proxy server using this O.S, so i bought a encore ENL832-TX-EN (an ethernet card), but suse didn't find the drivers, i read many documents and visit forums, but i can't do it.

I try this:
apt-get dist-upgrade

#make all

#insmod ./sundance.ko (or sundance.o)

#ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

eth0 is your network adapter,use dmesg to check it, ex: eth0, eth1...

xxx is your ip address, ex: 192.168.102.211

yyy is your netmask address, ex:255.255.255.0

that is from the notes in the cd that comes in te box with the card, but when i typed "make all", a error appers, something like doesn't exist, so I typed : " apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)" (because I found it in some forum), then this: " apt-get install build-essential linux-he", and that didn't work, I did many this like:

"sudo apt-get update" and went to yast and look up for c/c++ demeloment (installing everything about it) and all about apt updates...

no idea what else to do.
thanks in advance.

Hello,

The apt-get command is almost exclusively used by Debian and Debian based distros like Ubuntu.

OpenSuse's equivalent command line package manager is zypper. Or you can use the GUI tool in YAST2.

(By the way, OpenSuse 11 is quite old now. You might consider upgrading to the latest release, 11.3. 11.0 recently reached end of life and is no longer supported.)

For the ethernet card, please post the output of

lspci -vnn
lsmod

(Or it may be that you need to type the full path for lspci, ie, /usr/sbin/lspci -vnn)
