Hi all,

I am newbie to linux, I am currently trying to build custom 2.4 kernel rpm packages with bcm5700 driver.

What I did is get the bcm5700 source , which is a directory, put into kernel source tree: /kernel-source-top/driver/net

then I followed the e1000 driver way and came out a makefile for bcm5700 driver, in config files used by kernel.spec, I added CONFIG_BCM5700=m (same as e1000). In /driver/net/Makefile, I did similiar changes.

but when I run rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec,

the rpm will built out without bcm5700 driver, (e1000.o was inside).

Is there anything else I should do but I haven't done?

Looking forward for masters' help!

Thanks in advance!

please give some ideas!

was I not clear enough about the problem? sorry about that, since English is not my first language.

The policy on these boards is No bumping. You can bump after 24 hours or no replies. Not 2 hours.

Your question was clear enough, and when the rest of the US wakes up and gets to work, I am sure you get some answers, sorry but I can't help. And actually, there are many on these forums who will not answer you since you bumped yourself twice, which is against forum rules.

thanks for reminding.

I didn't quite know about this policy... sorry for that.

so what is this?

is it that I did some "illegal" bumping and nobody will even care to give any comments to my problem?

I understand that rules are rules. But rules to beginner shall not be this straight, isn't it?
