Dlink driver installation


Hi,

I have 2 10/100 NICs (different models and brands) working fine under FedoraCore2 under a fresh install everything is working good with those two however, my third NIC which isa 10/100/1000 requires the linux drivers in order to operate. The card is a D-Link DGE-530T (http://support.dlink.com/products/vi...tid=DGE%2D530T) I downloaded the linux drivers and extracted the contents of the tgz. In the included file of the drivers it simply states inside a txt file to do the following

3 INSTALLATION
================
Install linux driver as following command:

0. tar xvzf sk98lin.tgz, then goto sk98lin dir.
1. make all
2. insmod sk98lin.o
3. ifconfig eth0 up 10.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.0.0.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\ ^^^^^^^^\
IP NETMASK


So I attempt to do that the contents of the tgz are in a folder called sk98lin right on the desktop so I do

tar xvzf sk98lin.tgz /root/Desktop/sk98lin/


And then I receive no such file or directory... When examining that I see no sk98lin.tgz in the extracted folder so I figured the downloaded tgz file was really the file i was supposed to run the tar xvzf command on so I attempted the same thing as previously but withthe proper location and actual filename of the downloaded tgz.... still can't find the file..... inside the tgz along with the txt where I got the installation instructions from I see just a bunch of *.c files so am I able to compile the drivers a different way? I beleive I have all the development packages installed but am not very handy when it comes using the linux konsole........ thanks any help is appreciated.

Go to the directory of the file you are going to untar and ungzip and just type tar -svzf blahblah.tgz like the readme file tells you to, and leave off the directory you've added to the command.

I tried that and still hadnt worked right and I did download the sk98lin drivers I seen talked about for gigabit ethernet on these other forums and that didnt work either so I justthrew in a different NIC that I knew was compatible with my linux kernel so I just shoved that in and I was good to go
