driver.c to driver.o

if i have a driver for my nic that is a .c
How to i convert to .o?
Or how can i install a .c driver?

erm , well to convert a c source file to an object file you'd basically use gcc -c file.c. but i get the impression that's not really what you want to do... surely there's some documentation with this mystery driver???

The .c file is the source file; you need to compile it in order to get the usable .o module. The gcc acid_kewpie mentioned is the compiler, but you should read the instructions for compiling and installing the driver, since it isn't going to be as straight-forward as the example acid gave.

Thanks!
