Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet Adapter(NC100 v2) Linux Driver Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright (C) 2000 Network Everywhere. All rights reserved. **************************************************************************** A. Get source Code and produce a binary code ============================================= Step 1 : Get the source code from the following site; FTP://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/kern-2.3/tulip.c FTP://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/kern-2.3/kern_compat.h Step 2 : Compile the source code by using "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict -prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c '[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`" B. Installation guide using Slackware 3.XX ========================================== Step 1 : Copy tulip.o into the latest kernel's modules: cp tulip.o /lib/modules/2.0.XX/net/tulip.o Where the XX is the version number of the latest kernel. Step 2 : Modify /etc/rc.d/rc.modules: Unmark the line /sbin/modprobe tulip Step 3 : Reboot system: reboot Step 4 : when system boots, the driver will be load. Step 5 : run netconfig to setup TCP/IP (run 'ifconfig' or 'netstat -i' to see if there is a interface 'eth0') C. Installation guide using Redhat 5.XX ======================================= Step 1 : Copy tulip.o into the latest kernel's modules: cp tulip.o /lib/modules/2.0.XX/net/tulip.o Where the XX is the version number of the latest kernel. Step 2 : Update kernel's module dependencies: /sbin/depmod -a Step 3 : Check /etc/conf.modules: alias eth0 tulip options tulip options=X debug=X Step 4 : Valid media types selections for options=X are: 0 Auto-select (default to the 10baseT link) 1 10base2 2 AUI 3 100baseTx 4 10baseT-FD 5 100baseTx-FD 6 100baseT4 7 100baseFx 8 100baseFx-FD 9 MII 10baseT 10 MII 10baseT-FD 11 MII (autoselect) 12 10baseT (no autoselect), v0.69 and later only 13 MII 100baseTx 14 MII 100baseTx-FD 15 MII 100baseT4 Step 5 : Valid debug levels for debug=X are: 1 normal output 2 more verbose 3 even more verbose 4 even more verbose 6 insanely verbose Step 6 : Reboot system: /sbin/shutdown -r now Step 7 : when system boots, the driver will be load. Step 8 : run netconfig to setup TCP/IP (run 'ifconfig
