Installing Onboard Network Drivers
Hi All
First post here... I finally found my drivers for my onboard network card and i have a hard time understanding the instructions in the readme file.
The instructions go like this:
"make modules" fails on Redhat 8.0.It is kernel 2.4.18-14 , and it need driver 1.08.06.
You can individually compile the sis900.o with below procedures:
a.Symbolic Links "asm" and "linux" to "/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/."
a.1.Go to /usr/include directory
a.2.mv asm asm_ ( or rm asm)
a.3.mv linux linux_ (or rm linux)
a.4.ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/asm asm
a.5.ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/linux linux
b.Create new directory and copy sis900.c and sis900.o into them.
b.1 mkdir tmp
b.2 cp -f sis900.c /tmp/sis900.c
b.3 cp -f sis900.h /tmp/sis900.h
b.4 cd /tmp
b.5 gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -o6 -c -sis900.c
c.Copy and replace sis900.o into "/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/."
c.1 cp -f sis900.o /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/sis900.o
First off the files that are included are:
sis900.c and sis900.h and the readme.txt
secondly i know the linux-2.4.18-14 will be a differnt file name, but the include folder is not there. Also there is no sis900.o file.
can anyone explain to me how to do this?
Thank you
