how to add DLINK NIC drivers
Welll have my RH9 set up and running except that my DLINK NIC
is not detected by RH9. However I have drivers on CD that will support RH 9. The NIC is DFE-538TX And yes... very much a newbie to linux hence my reason to ask the question how to I install it... Document say to install to linux and compile. Well I don't even know where to start... I just don't want to goof up. Thanks in advance, ADHX |
whats the file extension of the driver you have on cd?
|
the extension is ".c"
File name rtl8139.c |
c extension is the c langage code. You have to compile it on your machine. Make sure that your floppy is in the drive and do this (these are instructions for redhat 7.0. I hope it works. rt8139.c is your driver replace it with your actual driver name. /usr/src/linux/include is where your linux kernel-source is. You need to install kernel-source beore u attempt to compile drivers:
cd floppy cp rtl8139.c /root(or any temp directory) cd /root gcc -I /usr/src/linux/include -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS` [Enter] insmod rtl8139.o |
