lo

I need help to compile source code for my network card
on lindows 2.0.

This is the info I have on the card's install disk
for linux. 1st off I dont know were to start so a
step by step guide would be kewl.

thnx.

Quote:

Installation:

1. copy the source code fealnx.c to Linux,

2. compile the source code, the instruction for compiling the driver is
as follows:

#gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c fealnx.c

3. insert the driver as module,

#insmod fealnx.o

4. bind your card to an IP address

#ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}

5. add your card to IP routing table,

#route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMADK} eth0

6. now, you should be able to ping local network.

That looks pretty step-by-step to me. Are you getting errors along the way?

i don't think too many of the members on this board have any real experience with lindows - it's kinda the bastard child of bill gates and linus torvalds that nobody like to talk about too much.

anyway, the instructions given are pretty step by step, as our fellow members have pointed out. you need to get to the command line to run them tho - i'm not sure how easy lindows makes that. find a terminal program, and go from there. if you get any errors, post them, and we'll be able to help out some more.
