I recently installed Xandros version 2 on my existing PC, and it did a very good job of detecting all my my hardware, even my win modem. although it did detect my d-link DFM-562I (ambient MD5628D chip set), it stated that it did not have an available driver. I looked up the drivers on Intel's site, but there dosn't seem to be one that will work under this operating system.
I have downloaded the drives, decompressed, and tried to install them with no success. the first driver, gave the following out put:
cd src/hamcore; make hamcore-release
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/release/src/hamcore'
cc -Wall -O -I /usr/include -I../inc -c -o coredrv.o coredrv.c
make[1]: cc: Command not found
make[1]: *** [coredrv.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/release/src/hamcore'
make: *** [all] Error 2
when i typed make ham
the output for make install:
make install
bash haminst
running kernel 2.4.22-x1
installing
hamcfg
hamtool
hamdata
serial module
install: cannot stat `ham.o': No such file or directory
core module
install: cannot stat `hamcore.o': No such file or directory
debian hamboot rc2.d and rc3.d scripts
starting module and utilities
insmod: hamcore: no module by that name found
done
the out for the second driver :
make ham
Module precompile check
Current running kernel is: 2.4.22-x1
/lib/modules... autoconf.h does not exist
please install kernel source
make: *** [check] Error 1
after reading this one i attempted to install kernel source. I followed the readme file, untill it said "you should now have the source properly installed", but it made no difference.
install the kernell sources in "/usr/src" folder. Make an symbolic link to the directory where the sorces are installed (ln -s /usr/src/linux_source_directory /usr/src/linux).After you did this cd into the directory where you have the "SECOND" driver (I thik is the driver for the 2.4.x kernel) and the run the configure script, but not before cleaning it (make distclean or make clean).I
If ti doesn't work try to recompile your kernel , and add (compiled in the kernel or as a module) most of the networking features realted to modems (PPP protocol etc).
GOOD LUCK
P.S:
I saw on the forum that you use a RH 9 distribution.
