2nd ethernet card driver install problem
hi, im sorry for this newbie question but i am trying to install a intel pro 100 M desktop adapter as a 2nd nic, into an old box running redhat 6.2, kernel
2.2.16.
lspci indicates machine detects the device, but am having problems building a workable driver for the card. i am not real experienced with kernels and compiling and am getting slightly lost.
i have download Intels recommended driver, Linux* 10/100 Adapter Base Driver [e100-2.1.15.tar.gz] and followed README steps about getting kernel-source for build. But as the box doesn't have kernel-source rpm installed on it, I have tried finding a kernel-source-2.2.16.i386.rpm to match my kernel, but it doesnt seem to exist.
not sure if other 2.2.16 kernel source options would work, such as 2.2.16-3
or 22.
i tried to make install it with kernel-source-2.2.16.lfs.i386.rpm but get kernel
mismatch errors.
and when do insmod e100, also get kernel mismatch errors.
can anyone let me know what i am doing wrong or point me to where i can find a 2.2.16 kernel source rpm, as i have searched high and low for it and haven't as yet found a match anywhere.
thanks.
