the latest driver should be a module no?
compile the module and use 'insmod' . |
how can I copile the module and what is insmod?
|
post the name of the driver package you have downloaded.
also, insmod is a program that will insert "modules" (drivers) into a already resident kernel. without needing to reboot. |
ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-suppo...ep-462-m91.tgz
click the link above, it should ask you to save it to disk. then use 'tar -zxvf intel536ep-462-m91.tgz' to unzip it somewhere like in /tmp or /home/yourusername . and read the readme.txt file. |
I downloaded intel536ep-462 in the instruccions said something about cipiling the kernel or something cant remember thats where Iam stuck I dont know how to compile it
|
I tried to install but look what happens I unpack the files using ark instead of using tar sxfv <programname> .gz heres what it says
