Hi everyone!
What I have:-
fedora 7 ( kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
Silan SC92031 PCI fast ethernet adapter
The Problem
I have found out that this card is not supported by my fedora 7. The drivers that Silan provides for linux r not supported by fedora 7. I have found out that there is a utility called Ndiswapper that can be used to load windows drivers provided by Silan according to the link
http://www.geocities.com/rohitksethi/
I have followed the folowing steps according to the data presented in the link....
[root@localhost ~]# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01)
.
.
.
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
01:01.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Unknown device 2031 (rev 01)
// hence it states clearly that card not supported
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// I also do not understand " should have at least 'include' directory and '.config' file. " as stated in the prerequisites in the link
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.50]# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
/lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/build
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.50]#
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After i make:-
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.50]# make install
make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Download/ndiswrapper-1.50/driver'
Makefile:24: *** Kernel tree not found - please set KBUILD to configured kernel. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Download/ndiswrapper-1.50/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2
I get the following errors. As I am a newbie, I do not know what is Kernel tree & KBUILD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Request
How do I install and use NdiSwapper?
Is there any driver available for this combination of card and fedora 7?
Is there any other way that I go about it?
Is this card supported in Fedora 8?
Pls help people!!
