Hi All,

Where can I find e1000 driver source code on i386 server having redhat 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 server.

I have checked the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES it doesn't contain any files ?

Thanks.

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES is for unpacked (installed)
".src.rpm" packages. The kernel source will be in
/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.15... , so please install
package 'kernel-devel' (or kernel-source)
e.g. 'kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm'
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i686.rpm.html
and find
linux-2.6.15.../drivers/net/e1000/

Regards

Thank you for your reply.

I want to do some modifications to the e1000 driver code and want to recompile it and wants to load the modified driver to the running kernel. could you please tell me what are the steps I need to follow to do this ?

To compile a module : Copy the programs.c and the
header(s).h from linux-2.6.xx.../drivers/net/e1000/
to an empty directory in your /home/tanniru/
and use a "4 line" Makefile : = = > examples
