Please Compile This Module For Me...

hellmet · 05-07-2006, 10:03 AM

Hello people..
I am havin some tuff time trying to compile this thing.
I need Linux_source for this..which I don't have.
its a 35 MB file..that'll take ages to download for me.

I am Presently on Breezy Badger(Kernel 2.6x)
I need you guys to Compile the Kernal Module for me
There is the make file that must be edited acc. to your kernel
Please do it..I beg of u guys...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OGK2WNVP

is the file

thanks guys

Why, the file is for a 2.4.18 kernel and will not build for a 2.6 kernel.

Besides you can probably just 'modprobe 8139too' and then assign eth(whatever) an address.

hellmet · 05-07-2006, 10:42 AM

the make file is for 2.4X
but the 8139too is for 2.6X

tats why I said...u need to change the MAKE FILE
and then compile
PLEASE do it dude.

u would probably get better results if u didnt just say "do it" what i did with dialup is just leave thje dwnload overnight and it would be done in the morning, and then u could ask the ppl on here how to compile it and change the Makefile urself. Ive had quite a few problems, and all u have to do is ask how to do it urself and u get ppl replying.

hellmet · 05-07-2006, 10:54 AM

Yaa dude..But i have a stupid connection that has a limit of 1GB
per month..
If i exceed I am doomed.
Please understand man.
Please do it if its possible, for me.

nathanhillinbl · 05-07-2006, 11:10 AM

Dear Lenard,

I badly need some help with load balancing using ip route. I can't post the picture of my topology but I can send it to you via email. Mine is "vishamr2000@gmail.com". If you want, pls do give me urs so that I can send you the topology..

Great if you could help me out dude..

Warm regards,
Visham

hellmet, this driver is already included in 2.6.x kernels. The network card this machine has uses this same driver and I tried ubuntu a couple of weeks ago with no problem. Why do you need this compiled when it is already available with your kernel?

Anyways, it won't compile against a 2.6.16 kernel, presumably because it is for a 2.4.x kernel. If you give some kind of explanation other than "please do it" we might be able to help.

I read it in the very Forum that addin a line to the 8139too.c and then compiling it
wud enable support for RTL8139D NICs.
Thats what I want to do.
I can't edit an object file rite?

/bin/bash · 05-08-2006, 03:59 AM

There is no way I would download a file from megauploads.com and build it on my computer. Especially from someone with less than a dozen posts here. But if you could post the patch to 8139too.c I might try building using my own 2.6 src.

Lenard · 05-08-2006, 05:30 AM

No reason to download and build, this is from November 2001, it's a backport from the 2.4.18 kernel source for Red Hat Linux 7.1/2 kernels, from the readme.txt file for the patch;

2001/11/21 by ShuChen Shao

1.It is able to support RTL8139C+ PCI ethernet chips in RedHat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7).
In addition, it is backward compatiable with RedHat 7.1 (kerne 2.4.2).

Support for the RTL8139C+ PCI ethernet chips have been included in the 2.6 kernel series since 2.6.0 was released.
