Drivers for IBM eServer LAN Device

tehkaao · 07-02-2008, 01:18 PM

I have a p3 older IBM eServer which use to run Novel Netware. I'm trying to put CentOS 4.5 first of all the raid was a pain in the ass to get working but I went and downloaded the red hat drivers from there website its a IBM 10/100 EtherLink but when I try to compile the module it gives me a warning that a bunch of stuff is obsolete(malign should be falign) in the code. Any Idea where I could find a more up to date driver? or what to do? Thanks

What Ethernet is it ? post the output of lspci, maybe you just need to load an existing module..

lspci | grep -i eth

umm command not found.....

Command not found.. where did you type it? all users have access to that command so you don't even need to be root..

Code:

user@it-etch:~$ which lspci
/usr/bin/lspci

you did open a shell and then type lspci at the command prompt right ?

Weird , heres another thread where someone using Centos4 does not have a working lspci.. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/...er=ASC&start=0

Interesting it looks like Centos has lspci in the sbin directory..

/sbin/lspci

Did you try to switch to root user (su - ) and run it ?
